Description

Organizing and editing records in an electronic database, training teachers how to use computers and train administrative workers to keep data on the computer.

The schools restrooms are in need of a facelift. A volunteer with construction skills could help improve the current structures and make for a more hygenic bathroom. Many desks and chairs are also broken and are in need of repair.
Alternately, a volunteer who is willing to teach English classes to staff in the afternoon would be greatly appreciated.

Highlights

Escuela Cristiana Ebenezer aims to provide children with a quality education by teaching a combination of core classes, values, worldviews and Christian ethics. This unique combination encourages children to contribute to their community and allows them to grow both personally and academically.
Although affiliated with the Ebenezer evangelical church, the school accepts children of all denominations.

Because Escuela Cristiana Ebenezer is severely underfunded, administration currently deals in paper and would benefit from having their records transferred to an electronic database.
Additionally, teachers at the school have very limited knowledge of computer-use and the school currently has one computer. A volunteer that could train staff at the school to use the computer effectively would be greatly appreciated.

Qualifications

Volunteers who speak Spanish so that they can easily communicate to administrative managers. Also, volunteers with an administrative background.
