Volunteers will have the opportunity to handle various children with different abilities by sharing their English skills and teaching talents. The head teacher appoints a member of his staff to assist in guiding the volunteers while providing tutoring help for students who require it.

Volunteers can also get involved with the children through extra-curricular activities, like sports, theater and art as this acts as an essential part that helps many impoverished children move up the socio-economic ladder.
