Highlights

This is a government-funded school for low-income students. Three different levels of education are provided to students: In the morning, education is provided for elementary school students. In the afternoon, high school students are taught and in the evenings, high school courses are offered to young, working adults that are working towards obtaining their high school diploma so that they can eventually attend a post-secondary institution.

We are eager to have a volunteer in our school that will help teach basic English to our elementary school students. We believe that at least a basic knowledge of the English language would be an asset for our students once they reach the secondary school level. The cross-cultural exchange between our students and the volunteers would also be a wonderful experience for all involved.
