OUR PROGRAMS
Open Arms provides play and activity-based English education for children living at welfare homes.
We meet the children as toddlers because we know early childhood education gives children the best start in life. Then we grow with the children following their life journey learning English. The ambition is to follow the kids even as they move away from the welfare homes and into young adulthood.

English learning in a loving environment
Open Arms provides a fun and safe space for children to learn English. Children receive supportive and positive learning experiences through play and engaging activities.
Our volunteers are those who love working together with kids to provide each child with a fun and active English learning session. Volunteers need plenty of energy and enthusiasm, and enjoy having fun with children. They help with English, play games, and participate in a variety of activities together.
