About the volunteering opportunity

The Kinderhaus Kunterbunt in the district of Berlin Wedding is looking for volunteers to read to children at the daycare center. The daycare center looks after children from the age of 1 until they start school, and the "Reading aloud with volunteers" program is aimed specifically at children aged 3 to 6.
Many international children attend the daycare center, so volunteers who speak Arabic as their mother tongue are very welcome.
It may also be possible to read aloud in German, Turkish, Croatian, Bulgarian or English.
