How does volunteering through SabMais work?

Local:

Mindelo, São Vicente Island – Cape Verde

Volunteering:

Volunteering takes place at our tutoring center, at the Cape Verdean Institute for Children and Adolescents, in the center of the city of Mindelo. It will consist of monitoring the studies of local secondary school students, through explanations of the subjects taught, such as Portuguese, Mathematics and Physics. With this support, we aim for them to achieve better results and thus be able to apply for tuition fee funding grants, following their dream of entering university, without financial constraints.
