Volunteer Teaching

During the week, mornings will be spent teaching basic English phrases and playing games with children at a kindergarten. Afternoons are dedicated to planning activities for the next day. Evenings involve enjoying dinner at your accommodation. Teaching is informal and focuses on making the children excited about coming to school, with a primary emphasis on simple greetings. The children will be exceptionally welcoming and excited to meet you, as you'll likely be one of the few foreigners they've encountered.
