A Broader View Volunteers Corp Teaching/Education Volunteer Job Vacancy in Rwanda

Without
a basic education, children have few or no prospects are many drawn to life on
the streets in local towns. Some of these children find work on farms or as
casual laborers, but this is invariably very low paid and unreliable work.
Others resort to petty theft in order to survive. To have good prospects in
life, children need good education from an early age and continuing through
secondary school or vocational training.

Our program combines
teaching small kids in pre-school level and also with other children/youth in
secondary level vocational training.

1) Pre-School: The
school is providing free care and education for disadvantaged children between
the ages of 3 and 6 years. Most of the children come from one parent homes, are
orphans, or are from child-headed households. There are about 50 children being
provided education and also food each day. Classes including constructive play
time, and classroom learning reading, writing, shapes, colors, numbers and social
harmony. Lessons are taught in Kinyarwanda (language) and children are also
taught some basic English (where our volunteers come in handy!) This school
operates weekday mornings.

2)
Vocational/Secondary: The center offers schooling and boarding facilities for
poor and disadvantaged teens and youth in the community. There are dormitories
for boys and girls, and typically 80 full time students at any time. Subject
focus: Tailoring, mechanics, welding and construction. As well as vocational
training, subjects taught include English and French lessons, and social
education (HIV/AIDS and other health issues, hygiene and nutrition) Volunteers
would focus on improving English of the students (16-21yrs old) through
assisting with or teaching the English syllabus.

Volunteers are
needed to lead classes, or assist the teachers in the class room. Volunteers
can focus on individual children, or small groups to provide special attention
and added support particularly in English lessons. Volunteers may also help
develop skills of teaching staff in English language and computing.

Typical work
schedule: Full time, 5 days a week, Morning and Afternoon shifts. Pre-school
morning classes only, afternoon vocational school classes.
