We appeal to you because many children, still today, stay at home for lack of teachers and if one of them is on sick leave, he is never replaced. Children can sometimes spend one or two years without any teaching in a subject. It is a real suffering and a disaster in education.

HEALTH MISSION


Having health means that the body, the morale and the reason are in good condition today, but in developing countries this is not the case. Being in poor health causes pain, can prevent work and in the worst case result in death. Supporting health in these countries is one way to guarantee the future and the lives of thousands of people in need. Children of the Earth through volunteers provides support to medical teams in clinics, hospitals or clinics and, above all, improves patient care and follow-up.
