Towards a personal and profesional improvement.

We present a new memory of the activities at Terral, marked by the growth. The course started in 2012 – 13 with a lot of verve since we had an special event coming: our 10th anniversary. “The woman as a change engine” was the main idea held at the “Palau Guell”. It was such a special day where people who has supported us since we started the Terral project was there.

Obviously, after ten years we grew. Our space was limited and the facilities couldn’t held any more activities, but this couldn’t be an obstacle for us. This is how, during this course, the famous “Lancaster” (the antique bohemic cellar) has become into a multifunctional space to help us keep 10º aniversario Terral - Palau Güell growing with this project with the support of the Caixa Social help foundation and to the Maria Francisca de Roviralta Foundation. Thanks to this our project will keep growing and providing the families and their kids an appropriate space to grow and learn with a one to one methodology.

The profesional improvement has been our objective trough this course. We have been doing a tracing to the students trough the term in order to help them with the courses they have difficulty with like maths or language. Regarding the education of adults we are giving homemade garment courses, languages and the third edition of the waitress course which has been a success. Finally, we have to say that the Terral project wouldn’t have come true without the collaboration of so many people who Programa de niñas has volunteer all over the weeks.

In Terral you can feel peace, people is very kind with JAN everyone and you can learn , China so many things, but the most Volunteer important is that they make us happy. I always dreamt about doing some social labor in Africa or India but then I realized that it wasn’t necessary to go LUZ, Filipinas that far, I could do it in Spain since it has been very touch Housewife with the economic crisis. I started the volunteer at Terral with a lot of expectations to I tell to my friends that if they help people but at the end want to learn spanish they I have been the one who should come to Terral.
