Applications are now welcome from willing volunteers!
Following the success of the first Summer School in English for disadvantaged children in Budesti, Moldova, Subud members are launching the second edition of this project, which is now an SD network member.
The project’s aim is to help address the needs of disadvantaged children, many of whose parents have had to leave the country in order to find work. 30 children aged 13-16 years old from disadvantaged families will benefit from English language courses during the summer camp, which will be held during 1 – 14th of July 2012.
With the help of the lessons learned from last year’s invaluable experience, international volunteer English teachers will help local English language teachers from the community to enrich their knowledge of English and learn alternative teaching methods. This camp features:
° 14-day summer school for disadvantaged children
° 30-hour language course to help build kids’ self-esteem, educational and career options
° 30-hour program of outdoor, creative and social activities
Although project organisers are looking for preferably experienced teachers of English (EFL or ESL), enthusiasm and the right attitude are just as important as a diploma!
SDIA and SD Network members are also trying to raise 4,095€ to help this project. Please contact getinvolved@susiladharma.org by 29th of February 2012 if you are interested in volunteering or info@susiladharma.org if you want to support this project in Moldova.
