Description: We are looking for more volunteers, the role of the volunteer goes far beyond assisting teaching. Children are attracted to school by the presence of volunteers and your presence also is a proven moral booster for parents and the limited teachers as well as a great inspiration for students. Help us at least to keep the children in classrooms.

The nations particularly the villages are in dying need of teachers. Many elementary schools in the remote villages have at times only one qualified teacher handling the school. Because many rural folks are unable to speak and write the English language, they are unable to assist the few teachers posted to the village. This has called for a great need of volunteers who can speak and write English to assist these communities.

Highlights:
* 6:30am wake up, have breakfast and walk a short distance to school
* 7:15am Supervise children to clean up the school, attend morning assembly
* 8:00am Classes start, work with your time table
* 2:00pm School closes, Lunch at home or taken in school before closing.
* Afterwards, you hang around with your family, may decide to pay a home visit to some of the students living around, hope you do not forget the evening meals around 6:00pm and you can go for some drinks with friends later.
* You will have class work to mark, and lesson notes to prepare for the next day so plan to fix it somewhere within your time.
