Support needed for ongoing help with the Elche Childrens Home PlEASE READ
We are currently in urgent need of Care Givers & Guardians for the older Children in the home
This is a new concept in Spain of care giving and guardians for these children offering them a place of safety in a loving home teaching them the skills they will need to become very successful young adults living in your homes as part of your family with you providing the education of life skills and giving human compassion something these children probably have never experienced. This does take a special kind of person but the rewards even though not financial are huge and we urge anyone who thinks they would be interested and would like further information on this to please contact us via email [email protected] please note anyone taking part in this scheme will be fully supported throughtout by fully qualified uk social workers in spain

People reading this have probably never heard of K2A. K2A (Kids to Adults) are a new charity, awaiting full registration, who work directly and solely with the director of Elche Childrens Home. K2A have been set up as a result of the discovery, purely by chance, that there is no training or support for the children leading up to the time that they leave the home at 18. There is no system in place to secure their well being and future in society this is where K2A will step in. They will provide training and ongoing support and care for these young people giving them life skills whilst learning the techniques needed to become a successful young adult and not reverting to the old life pattern they have come from. They have arranged instruction at the home for English, Guitar, Dance and Domestic Sciences (Cooking,Shopping, Budgeting, Cleaning etc.). They have also already managed to secure 3 part time positions of work and are looking for more. These position are at The Post Room, Benijofar - La Plaza Cafe, Benijofar and the Impact Charity Shop, La Marina. K2A are also currently looking for local businesses to offer these children, of 16+ years, Saturday work placements. They are so hard working and want to achieve and be a part of society. If you think you could employ one of them please do get in touch by emailing with your contact details to [email protected]

For those of you who are more familiar with the name of EMAUS, they were providing funding for the home but the contract with them has lapsed and they are no longer involved with them.

K2A does need funds as this is the first of its kind and we are starting from day one to ensure the safety and stability continues to make these children the caring loving young adults they all strive to be but we cannot do this without the help and support from the community here people wishing to make a donation to us may do so by using our Paypal and going to the www.paypal.co.uk and entering the account details [email protected]
many thanks for reading this and we look forward to hearing form you
