Teach English in Posadas, Argentina

Description

Argentina is a beautiful old country blighted by an economic crisis that has left its mark on all aspects of society. Predictably the education system hasn't escaped unscathed. In Posadas for example, the poorest parts of the city grew and the local schools became overcrowded, necessitating the building of new ones in order to meet demand. It's in these new schools that you'll use your inclusive TEFL training to give the kids a fighting chance to escape the poverty in which most of them grew up. Posadas itself boasts plenty to keep your attention with several museums, a range of interesting markets and plenty of friendly cafes vying for your attention as well as the mystical Jesuit ruins of San Ignacio Mini.

* Project details:
i-to-i volunteers work in schools located in the suburbs of Posadas. Volunteers work in primary schools that were built within the past few years in response to growing populations in the suburbs.

* Why the project needs volunteers:
By teaching young people English, you will be able to make a positive impact on their lives and make more opportunities available to them, such as going to university, getting jobs in tourism, business and commerce. There is a lack of native English teachers, and so volunteers are valued where English is their native or near native language to aid in the learning of the children.

Highlights

* Soaking up the laid back vide of Posadas
