Description

Teaching English in Mongolia is very challenging, but it is also very rewarding. Most of the Mongolia Volunteer teaching projects are located in of the Mongolian capital, Ulaanbaatar. Students in public school are basic learners: boys and girls (from ages 8-16), in class sizes of about 15-20. Also, volunteers can teach English in a variety of non-profit schools, which aim at helping destitute citizens. A volunteer usually teaches three to four hours a day, for five days a week. If you have other skills, like knowledge of computers or drawing, you can teach these along with English as well. Most of the time, you will be provided with a fixed-curriculum English book to help you teach, and you will be requested by school authorities to develop your own projects that aid students in learning English. Teaching English in Mongolia project not only benefits students at our projects area, but you will also get tests of Mongolian culture and people through teaching.

"New Choice" Mongolian Children's Charity's Mission Statement

Our charity, New Choice, was founded in 2004 by Bayarjargal D, out of deep concern for the welfare of orphans and other vulnerable children in Mongolia. Since then we have become a strong and active body of people bound together by the same concern. We are a registered non-governmental and non-profit organisation, based in the capital Ulaanbaatar. Our mission statement 'To improve the conditions of, and advance in life, impoverished and orphanaged children by 1. promoting and protecting their physical and mental well-being, and 2. furthering their education through the provision of facilities and services, with a vision or their becoming active and valued members of society'. From the outset we have been motivated by a strong wish to empower the less fortunate children of Mongolia. We believe every child has the right to good health and education, and we feel it is our responsibility to provide these. A child's potential for self-development will then naturally increase, creating a mature and responsible individual.
