Who are the Amigos?
We are a charity organization established and operated by university students. Our goal is to motivate the recovery of chronically ill children through teaching languages.
We believe that we can set a positive example for kids since we are also students. The small age difference makes us not just a teacher but a friend.
It is important always to arrive in the hospitals well-prepared with a a big smile on our face. These small gestures can be enough to brighten a kid's day.
