The experience

Volunteers help in a wide range of subjects, including Mathematics, Creative Arts, Science, Basic English and Mathematics etc. The teaching program takes place in Nursery, Primary and Junior High Schools where volunteers initially either shadow or teach under the supervision of a local teacher. It is important that volunteers are flexible as there are a number of other tasks they can help with including helping children with their homework etc...
