The summer school was born out of the need to offer continuity to numerous families who, during the summer, are deprived of resources with which to cover the basic needs of daily life, such as food. Generally, these families, during the school season, have the school canteen for the children and the social canteen service for the adults who live at home, for lunch and dinner is guaranteed for all members of the family unit. Therefore, during the summer school programme, Nuevo Hogar Betania guarantees breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack for all children.
At the same time, an educational, recreational and sports programme is carried out in order to make the most of the time available to offer the children numerous activities which, as well as reinforcing school reinforcement and learning, also provide them with a space for leisure, encouraging at all times mutual respect, integration, social skills, non-sexist games and eliminating any type of game that could incite violence.
