We have a number of lines of action:
The painting and drawing workship gives the children the opportunity to paint, and to express themselves through paint. This workshop has existed for 4 years thanks the the support of the French NGO Constellation. In the same field is the craft workshop, a place to develop manual skills and techniques like macramé, leatherwork, woodwork, wirework ...
In the music workshop, we teach the children to play traditional Bolivian instruments. They learn as a group how to perform the rhythms and dances of their communities in the countryside, and through practice, they also learn the music of other regions of Bolivia, and we have formed a folk group called Ayllu Pukara.
We also offer lectures on various subjects concerning Bolivian culture, and trips to historic places around Sucre.
The practice of sport helps the physical and mental development of the children, and allows them to meet and play with other children. The sporting activities that Ñanta supports are many: Football, swimming, chess, basketball, etc.
The NATs' way of life leaves them little time for play. Through games, trips and camps we are able to provide a break from their daily responsibilities and return a little of their childhood to them.
