VOLUNTEER TEACHING | EDUCATION VOLUNTEERING SOUTH AFRICA | PORT ELIZABETH
Kwa-Ford Primary School in New Brighton was established in 1949 after converting a municipal labour office building into a school. There are 320 children ranging from Grade R (4-5 years old) to Grade 7 (11-13 years old) and 12 teachers. The children are from underprivileged families in the surrounding, poverty stricken area. The school is trying hard to educate the children in the best possible way, using the extremely limited resources available, with minimal funds.
Volunteer Teaching: Volunteers do not have to have any teaching experience, just the passion to inspire the next generation! Volunteers will be assisting an existing teacher in the chosen subject (English, math, geography, world knowledge, art, music, reading and writing skills) and will work together to create a more stimulating learning environment. They will shadow a teacher until they are ready to take classes on their own if desired. Volunteers help by adding their skills and knowledge to an existing school curriculum and events. With foreign presence, the children and the teachers gain from learning about new cultures and experiencing new teaching styles. The volunteers gain by in turn being part of a vibrant culture and learning a new way of living, along with better understanding the hardship these children endure.
Volunteer Tasks will include:
· Teach your Country's culture in the Freewalker International Culture Room
· Assist teachers in composing and evaluating tests/exams
· Help with feeding the learners & School garden maintenance and harvest
· Caring for and teaching kindergarten students
· Upliftment project throughout the School
· Overseeing recess
· Maintaining the School library
· Design After School Programs for the students
· Aid in fundraising events & Eco-Schools Involvement www.eco-schools.org
