Village Teaching and Outreach Placement:
Yes Please Volunteering work with a number of small community based
organizations that provide counselling, care, and education for rural
people and orphaned and underprivileged children. Some of these
placements focus exclusively on teaching primary or secondary school.
Others include both teaching and community outreach components.
Village teaching placements can include arts and crafts, structured
play, music/singing, sports, health, and academics. Volunteers choose
which subjects and age groups to teach prior to arrival. They work
independently to plan lessons using government curriculum and
textbooks. Please be aware that there will be few (if any) resources
available at school. Volunteers should bring any supplies, teaching
materials, or instruments they wish to make use of. The main focus is
to provide children with a loving, creative and interactive
environment in which to flourish.
Village community outreach placements can include youth mentoring,
team building, HIV prevention and AIDS care, sanitation and hygiene,
and general public health. For volunteers with a medical background,
placements can include working with health-based organizations.
Volunteer activities may include home visiting, designing education
materials, conducting seminars, and maintaining wells and other
village infrastructure.
A village placement is particularly appropriate for volunteers with
great ideas and enthusiasm for grassroots development. This is a real
opportunity for deep cultural exchange.
