💼 What the programme involves
In Kalagala village, there are many nurseries and kindergartens open for children up to five years old. This provides a place that parents can send their children to during the day while they are working.
You will be spending your day taking care of the local children by playing with them, feeding them, bathing them and any other things that may be required. Moreover, you will get the chance to coordinate activities that will prove valuable for the children such as classes, learning music, playing sport, teaching basic English, etc.
Teaching these children English and being with them will provide a great cultural exchange opportunity, allowing them to grow their perspectives of the world outside of their small village.
Aims & Objectives :
Help the local children improve their conversational English,
Give you practical experience in teaching,
Assist the program staff with extra hands.
