Length of Position: 3 to 4 hours a day, 5/6 days a weeks
Description:
International volunteers mainly volunteer on formal education - teaching English, creative work or other subjects (i.e. mathematics, environmental science, pure science, international history, and computer science, art, music, sports, P.E. and other vocational subjects) for about ¾ hours a day, five to six days a week. Besides formal teaching, they will be involved in organizing co-curricular activities which encourage students to participate and develop their life-skills. They can also facilitate Children's Clubs and strengthen those children by delivering capacity-building trainings. They will also disseminate information on children's rights, sanitation and hygiene, and adolescent health issues through various informal activities such as debates, quizzes contests, art and elocution competitions, folk song competitions, rallies, street dramas, etc.
Due to lack of resources and other disturbances, schools are often closed, sometimes for days at a time. Therefore, it is very important that volunteers provide lessons after school, for groups of all ages, so that children can continue their studies as well as simply having something to use their time creatively. These classes also reach out to those in the community who cannot attend formal school, either because of financial difficulties or other responsibilities.
Volunteers can also be involve in other community building activities with our local volunteers. They can help local teachers to collect teaching resources and design effective lessons and co teach their lessons.
Highlights:
Volunteers teach from 2 to 3 hours each day, six days a week. Most of the students range in age from 6 to 13. In Nepal, each school has its own English teachers who assist our volunteers with teaching methods, offer advice on solving communication barriers, and provide suitable curricula for the classroom. English teaching volunteers do not have to be native English speakers. The schools in Nepal are closed during the holidays and exam periods. During these times, VIN will organize alternative tasks for our volunteers, such as assisting in our clubs, English to local youths.
Qualifications:
Anybody who has strong desire to work for children and is native speakers can participate this program. We provide some basic teaching ideas.
