A Programme for Social Welfare Students

Hue Help has partnered up with Diak Polytechnic of Finland to provide a very different kind of Volunteer programme.

Diak offers a variety of different degree programmes such as nursing, education and media but it is with the social welfare students that Hue Help has started to work. As with the English teaching programme, the social welfare students will be bringing useful and beneficial knowledge to the youth of Hue through carrying out interactive life-skills workshops. Hue Help, The children’s centres and the social workers are working together to come up with suitable topics for the social workers to teach such as road safety, diet and the importance of teeth brushing. The workshops are to be highly interactive- incorporating role-play, drama and art to ensure that the kids have fun as they learn. If you would like further information on this programme, please don’t hesitate to contact me on joshuazukas@huehelp.org

We currently have four enthusiastic Finns participating in this programme- Minna Hekkala, Saila Ohranen, Henna Hiitola and Aino Uitto- and we hope for a sustainable programme and long-term relationship between Hue Help and Diak Polytechnic.
