PROJECT OVERVIEW

EDUCATION

Volunteers have a chance to work with students in kindergarten, primary and high schools. In the kindergartens help with daily routines and preparing students to move into primary school. In high schools help students with English and motivate them to finish their degrees and study. 

​

SOCIAL WORK

Volunteers can assist in Foster Homes or in Elderly Care Homes. Work with foster children to create a safe living environment and provide them with special education opportunities. Teach them English and share your culture with them. Help care for the elderly by assisting them with everyday life tasks. Run daily activities for residents to provide them with something new to keep them engaged.
