Volunteers play roles as intern and assistant in all different projects. Participants can speak and understand little English; however, they lack of interaction and are shy to speak English. Volunteers help create the environment to urge the local youth to speak English as much as they can through various activities.
Volunteers are expected to introduce, share and show for participants about their culture and lifestyle to help participants discover new things and culture and also organize some activities to give more knowledge and information about their country with support. Participants are lack of communication, presentation, interview skills. The volunteers should work with them, share with them some ideas on how to improve their skills through activities.
