Volunteers will help with the daily running of the programs for example: 

• Teaching lessons to children in the older groups  (colours, letters, shapes, art, etc.) as well as teaching English through play and vocabulary stimulation. 
• Stimulating smaller children in the younger groups with developmental toys, touch and by speaking English  to them. 
• Assisting with the feeding programs 
• Supervising children at all times, ex. during outdoor or free play 
• Helping with changing diapers, feeding babies, assisting with naptime 

Volunteers will work 5 days a week with the children. Some days volunteers will work a full 8 hours and other days 4 to 5 hours, depending on the needs of the project. Project tasks may sometimes seem repetitive – but your efforts will make a huge difference. Enjoy the project locations, your fellow team members, and the fact that you are helping to make a difference in the world.
