. We are also looking for volunteers who are passionate with children and would love to help us learn with more fun and artistic activities (role games, painting etc.) Because each volunteer is different and has a different set of skills, we are always very open to new ideas when it comes to activities during lessons.

Are a yoga , music , sports like soccer teacher and you would like to organize a class ? You are so welcome!

Are you a drama teacher/student and would like to create a play ?
You love singing and would like to teach the kids a song , game , you most welcome!

What we expect from the volunteers is kindness, patience and understanding. we are at a disadvantage with classrooms ,some of our lessons are done from the outside of rooms and so many differences so please we love to work together with love , kindness and respect

Activities & Shift

- Assisting teachers during lessons in classes.
- Playing games with the children , any game you know for school.
- serving lunch with David and teachers to children
- Participating in all kind of activities
- Sharing about cultural differences*

*Not that it is mandatory but it would be great if the volunteers could tell students about their country/traditions/culture etc. They could show them where they live on a Map, tell them about the food, the traditions, what the landscapes look like...

Rules
