Voluntary Work
Volunteers will teach English and other subjects they are comfortable with, to children aged 7 - 11 in both public and private schools. Because there is a lot of flexibility in this project, volunteers are able to use their own special skills in their teaching methods.
Past volunteers have been able to teach:
- Music, arts and crafts
- Foreign languages like French
- Sports such as football, basketball etc
