Volunteering Activities
What We Need
Volunteers typically teach or assist a teacher with classes from 8:00 AM until 12:00 PM five days a week. After school during the evening from 4:00pm up to 6:00pm the volunteers teach the kida at the public library and then from 6:00pm up to 7:30pm the volunteers teach the adults class at the Public library .Lunch is provided by the host family. The rest of the day before Libreary is free for the volunteer to explore our beautiful region. We will make sure we find a class where you can fully utilize your skills, whether you are strong in languages, science, maths, etc.
Primary Schools:
In primary schools, the focus lies on improving the English skills of children aged 3 to 13 so that they can progress onto secondary school. Children in primary school usually speak very little English; so, volunteers need to be able to connect with them using simple teaching methods. Along with teaching English, volunteers can implement other activities (e.g. arts and crafts, stimulating learning games, etc.) to engage the students in creative ways.
Secondary Schools:
In secondary schools, in addition to improving the standard of spoken and written English, the focus for pupils aged between 13 and 17 is to deepen their knowledge on subjects like mathematics, geography, history, science, computer skills, life skills, and so on.
There are also opportunities for volunteers in both primary and secondary schools to run after-school sporting activities and get involved in wider community development program which is runned in the public library.
