Adventure Tours in Livingstone, Zambia

Teaching volunteers in Zambia are given the opportunity to work with teachers and local volunteers in community schools. These schools are community run and offer reduced fees or free admission to students in need, many of whom are orphaned or living with elderly family members. As these schools depend heavily on the involvement of local volunteers, the ratio of students to teachers can be as high as 60 students to 1 teacher. Volunteers may also have the opportunity to work in government schools, orphanages, community centers, or special needs facilities. The project is heavily focused on teaching English, however there are also opportunities to teach a range of other subjects, such as math and science, and assist with extracurricular activities, including sports, music, dance, art, gardening and nutrition.

Located in Livingstone, Zambia, GoEco allows volunteers to work near Victoria Falls. By volunteering at GoEcos Community Teaching, participants can work at one of five schools in and the around the area of Livingstone. By volunteering with at risk and orphaned youth, GoEco volunteers can make a real difference in the lives of many. Another great aspect of the Community teaching project is that volunteers can separate students of theirs who are doing poorly and work with them separately in a slower, more one-on-one environment.
