Description

Offering the most varied and striking terrain of almost any South American country, come to gorgeous Venezuela to see the Andes shrouded in snow, the tantalising Caribbean beaches where jungle cascades down to the shore, the indescribable depths of the endless Amazon rainforest, and the eerie beauty of Gran Sabana with its unique flat topped mountains. Experience Latin American fiesta spirit as you dance the night away in one of Venezuela's traditional live music bars, sample outstanding fresh fish as you watch the Caribbean sunset, spot river dolphins, caimans, or even big cats near the Rio Orinoco- all this and more awaits you in this irresistible destination!

* What Will I Be Doing?

No previous experience or special skills are required to work at the mobile school but you will need to be enthusiastic, willing to learn, ready for a challenge and have a desire to work with children. Friendliness, care, commitment and patience are among the most important qualities you should have. You will find that you will take delight in seeing the children's progress through interaction and play, as well as the charming nature of the bonds forged between children and volunteers.

You will be helping to plan and prepare the classes, and perform regular maintenance of the mobile school. Subjects that you will be teaching will include literacy, maths, creative therapy, health education and children's rights. You will also supervise sport, recreational and development activities and organise special events. You may also help with the school's administrative work such as reports, statistics, general planning and documentation.
