VOLUNTEER TEACHING AT ITALK HANOI

Vietnam Teaching

Reviews: 0 Joined: 58 Do Lana

1. The mission of the program

The program has been operated since 2015 and is run all year round. It was founded by an American veteran. He participated in Vietnam war in the past (1969-1975), of course, on the side of the American army. After the war, like other American soldiers, he came back to the USA. When he retired, he decided to come back to Vietnam with the will to do something good for Vietnam in the hope of making it up to the past, and the charity English program was founded. That was the first mission of the program. He ran the program for a few years and now he is expanding it in another areas of Vietnam. We are in Hanoi to continue his will.

In shorts, the program’s purpose is to offer students with little budget to access English by practical lessons with foreign volunteer teachers.

Volunteer in Sri Lankan Village with Horizon Lanka Foundation

Sri Lanka Teaching

Reviews: 0 Joined: 0 Nanda Wanninayaka

Horizon Lanka Foundation is a non-profit organization (registered as a Guarantee Limited Company) located in Mahawilachchiya, the rural outskirts of Anuradhapura, the most ancient city of Sri Lanka. It runs academic programs for students in rural villages in Sri Lanka. The student body is made up primarily of local children who come to Horizon Academies after public school, during weekends and public school vacations. The Academies teach English, Information and Communication Technology, science, mathematics, fine arts, and sports to the children. We also train the children in skills such as presentation, public speaking and personal development. In addition to these subjects, students learn much more. Thanks to our dedicated staff and the hard work of local and foreign volunteers, the students also learn important life skills such as interpersonal communication, intercultural communication, tolerance, leadership, caring for others and the environment, sustainable development and teamwork.

The Horizon Lanka Foundation is a pillar in the local communities and works with them to improve the lives of all involved. We do this by assigning our local and foreign volunteers to assist the local public schools during morning sessions as Horizon Academies do not open during mornings except for school holidays and long public school vacations. Our ultimate goal is to empower rural youth so that they may work towards improving the conditions of their community as well as the surrounding communities.

HELP/SUPPORT SUSTAINABLE EDUCATION DEVELOPMENT TO OUR

Arusha, Tanzania Teaching

Reviews: 0 Joined: 0 Marko Silas

We believe that a child’s future success and advancement in life is greatly influenced by their early educational experience as those who have go to school early develop an interest in education more than those who have not participated in early learning education – learning how to get along in groups, work under teacher supervision, etc. They also receive encouragement to express their feelings and ideas through building, dancing, and drawing, playing, singing and speaking. And thus, at the end of their pre-school years, they have become more competent pupils and will be more advanced in some of their abilities and be ready to master their new environment in primary and secondary education.We are located at Sanawari village -Arusha.

Type of work

All volunteer work 5 days per week and 2 days for week end. And during the week end they can go to visit variety attractions such as water fall, Safari, Mountain trek,Hot water spring,Lake, Coffee plantation, Masai culture, And Zanzibar.

Our project is going to give you the opportunity of experiencing what is Colombia like. You will meet locals, live the culture and learn or improve your Spanish. Also, you will have the chance of being an agent of change and make an impact on people lives.

Type of work

-Personal stress management is important when working in the field. Consider how you handle yourself in stressful situations and if this could impact how you work with students.
-Due to a variety of unpredictable factors, you will likely feel uncomfortable at some point in time – whether it’s due to food, conditions, accommodation, time, or cultural differences.
-The volunteer’s workload is demanding and it may require long hours.

Conditions

We offer this project:

Cultural HOUSE: To study English in Colombia is something that not everybody can afford. Academies are really expensive and not always offer the best quality. So we created a cultural house where people can come and learn English at a low cost. We also visit locals schools to give them support in the English classes. For this project, we offer accommodation and a kind of wage of 800.000 COP. It is important the person gets committed at least for 6months.
