Description
1. OVERVIEW
The center is located in a tranquil pagoda in Kim Chung commune, Dong Anh district,
outskirts of Hanoi. Dong Anh has been on the process of urbanization which leads to the
mass immigration from nearby provinces. This causes several difficulties in policy
formulation for education. Many immigrants can not afford to send their children to a
standard school. Some even do not have money to pay school fees. Hence, these children
can not access to the modern world. They lack not only fundamental knowledge but many
other living skills, and English seems to be beyond their abilities.
In the hope of bringing these disadvantaged children a chance to wish for a better life, our
organization- CVTD (Center for Center for International Cooperation and Vietnam
Talent Development) is implementing an educational program in the area. We aim at
providing the children with basic English lessons and other extra activities including
drawing, music and physical activities during break time. The children have class 3 days
per week, each class lasts for 2 to 2.5 hours per day.
2. TASK
International volunteers can bring the whole world to the community, allow students to gain
new experiences and to express their feelings in a multicultural environment. By helping
them improve their English, we are giving them an indispensable tool for higher education.
No one person can do everything, but we can all do something. We have on going needs for
volunteers with different culture backgrounds reflecting a rich diversity of a global
community; all are united by their desire to help children. Taking part in our program,
volunteers will:
- Prepare the lesson plans including teaching aids, games, and activities… for each class.
- Give lessons and hold extra activities.
- Collaborate with teaching assistant to manage the class.
- Give feedback and recommendation about students’ performance
