In addition, your work in the school adds to the educational experience of the children. It is a marvelous experience for them to interact with people from another culture who speak another language. They will learn the things more attentively and enthusiastically, and welcome you open-heartedly. When you leave school in the afternoon you will be content to see that your students have learnt the things taught by you and your efforts are bringing results. This, we are sure, will bring you great personal satisfaction in helping children who have not been so fortunate.

In school, our volunteer’s main responsibilities will include:

  • Teaching English – the main focus is on developing Basic English conversational skills and some basic written English skills. 
  • The students require vocabulary development and basic grammatical structures for spoken and written English.
  • Teaching Maths – this is a secondary focus area, as the students take maths with their class teacher during their Hindi classes.  However, volunteers can work to further develop English language skills through maths teaching.
  • Creating a fun and playful environment with games
  • Creating low cost teaching materials and aids
  • Monitoring students’ attendance
  • Monitoring students’ health and hygiene – e.g. encouraging hand washing in order to protect from spread of germs and maintaining good personal hygiene.
