Description
Support a pre-school and elementary school. These are some of the poorest schools, often located on the outskirts of the city and are extremely underfunded and understaffed. Schools can be located all over the island and are easily accessible by public transportation. Volunteers are greatly appreciated and make a huge difference to children’s learning.
Your tasks:
As a rule, lessons start at 08:30. Depending on your personal wishes and interests, you will support the daily work of the teachers wherever you are needed. This applies in particular to the subjects English, mathematics, history, geography, art, sport or biology. As some children need intensive individual support, you can also do one-to-one lessons with these children. In Tanzania, there is a prescribed curriculum and your ideas and creativity will be incorporated. Lessons usually end at 1 pm.
