The placement is in local schools, where you will teach hygiene and basic healthcare practices. Qualified healthcare professionals may be able to help set up and conduct health camps, including dental checkups and general assessments in schools. However, please check with us first. Nutritionists and naturopaths can implement classes on healthy eating, the healthy plate concept, exercise, and the importance of a diet rich in fruits and vegetables and low in processed sugar.

The program also involves basic first aid and personal hygiene education, such as washing hands, brushing teeth, and general cleanliness. This may seem trivial to those raised in Western societies; however, these services greatly assist in preventing many avoidable health problems and easily communicable diseases in developing communities.

You will spend 1-2 hours each morning preparing lessons and about 2-3 hours in the afternoon teaching at a local elementary, high school, or university.
