deceased relatives. These groups generally focus on helping at a very local

level to empower those around them. Common activities include educational and

local orphans in the form of access to free education, and raising awareness of

important health issues.

    rd option

    from September to December

    QUALIFICATION:

    Any individual, group, student or family qualifies for this

    opportunity.

    There is much need for extra help in Tanzanian schools. However,

    it is very important to know where and how to give support. In general, we

    support locally based schools, trying to provide an education to those who

    would otherwise go without. We currently have volunteer positions at teaching

    projects for children of all ages. The nursery schools are run by local

    organizations trying to prepare the children for primary school by teaching

    them basics such as reading, writing, maths, Swahili, and English. Projects

    working with older children are providing education to orphaned and

    disadvantaged children, who otherwise would not be able to attend school. We do

    not agree with placing unskilled people into teaching positions, replacing

    local teachers, or disrupting the work of the local teachers. Local teachers are

    teaching at all of these schools and rather than replace them, we try to enhance

    their work by taking extra classes and activities, dividing large classes, and

    helping give more individual attention to the children. Volunteers can also

    help with one-on-one tuition for children falling behind.

    One of the common difficulties for children in Tanzania is that

    primary school is taught in Swahili and secondary school

    in English. This is

    a difficult transition, therefore much assistance is required to help

    children build their English.

    Along with formal teaching, there are opportunities to pass on

    other skills for children, such as drama, singing, gardening, hygiene, and human

    rights, Volunteers run skills training and health/life skills tasks at a few

    projects.

    You do not need to be a teacher to help with teaching positions.

    You can still be a valuable asset when volunteering as a teacher's assistant,

    activities director, or offering one one-on-one tuition. Other aspects of teaching

    projects include working with children with learning difficulties, street children, and young people on remand. Vocational skills are particularly valuable for

    these placements.
