Every person who volunteers in a community center will have moments of, "If only I had this one other thing!" Sometimes they are simple conveniences or small improvements, and some are essential for carrying out daily activities, but most are things that could dramatically improve the classrooms and quality of lesson plans and classes. The things we wish for don't have to be new, and many things that people discard for their own use would work well for us. In case you have anything or know anyone who might, here's a list of a few of the things Conviven wishes for:
Musc equipment for the young-
Amplifiers of 80 watts, microphones, batteries, light, CD music player, lights for theater plays, acoustic panels, sound mixing board.

CLAVAS, juggling balls, swings, flags, unicycle, trapeze, SLINGAS, ropes and fabric, stilts, rings, colorful clothes, foam mattress, rubber flooring(16 sq. meters, each sheet 1x1 meters), ALAPARGATAS slipper shoes, and any other kind of circus materials-- Our dream is to be able to get a structure of 10 meters in height to allow air acrobatics.
