Volunteers will be working closely with the students in order to reinforce the classes: Math, Geography, English, Science, Recreational Programs etc. You can help organize games and sport matches with other schools, and/or schedule field trips for groups to the different points on the island.
Get involved in the different activities promoted by the school, like reforesting and working on the vegetable patch and garden.
We wish to reinforce the material that the students are learning by providing them with extra assistance and attention. We also want to open a whole new world for these kids by introducing them to other countries, cultures and customs from around the world.
Have a teachers spirit, understanding and dedication.
