Volunteer abroad | teaching and children Development
This essential program aims to help vulnerable children in Nepal through giving them a solid education. Many of the children in the school’s WVN works with have suffered much already at a young age. They all live in poverty and are at risk. Through a solid education this program aims to support these children and help them to create a better life and to break the poverty cycle. Volunteers will work within elementary and high schools teaching a variety of subjects. This may include mathematics, science, geography, social sciences, history, business education, English, art and music. Volunteer teachers in Nepal are not required to have teaching experience, however this would of course be advantageous. The schools selected on the program usually receive little or no government funding so are very poorly resourced. Extra teaching support is vital in classrooms with very large rolls, and which lack even basic supplies. Any teaching support given by volunteers in the schools is gratefully accepted and appreciated by teachers and students alike.
Volunteer abroad Goals of this Project:
Provide essential teaching to under-resourced schools in Nepal
Provide an educational foundation for vulnerable children to build on and break the poverty cycle
Improve the future prospects of the children in Nepal
Enable inter-cultural exchange which benefits both locals and international volunteers alike.
How you can help while you will be volunteer abroad
Volunteers on this wonderful teaching program will play an important role in the lives of children in participating schools. Not only will volunteers help to teach the children subjects which are essential to their education and future success, they will also teach them about the world, and that the world is compassionate to their polight. Volunteers will need to be prepared to teach lessons with the bare minimum of equipment and resources. They will need to be open to participating in all manner of projects, as schools on the program are starting to develop their own sustainable projects such as gardens, farming and jewelry making to give students a vocational education too.
Volunteers will contribute in a number of ways on this program and can expect to undertake the following tasks:
Teach children in a variety of subjects
Play sports and other games with the children
Work with students on projects and activities
Dance and singing
Teaching any good topics
