Evening and free time to mix with the locals and volunteers
The school day consists of eight periods that are each 35-40 minutes in
length. In the afternoon you can put on extra classes for the children. You can organise
music, drama, art classes, etc or social and sport activities.
The children you will be teaching will be between the ages of six and
19 years old. The age group that you will be teaching will depend on the needs of the school
at the time of your arrival. The classes could have up to 30 or 40 children per class. As a
volunteer you will be responsible for helping the teachers in running classes. Teachers will
provide hands-on training for your introduction to teaching. Eventually class time will be
handed over to you.
Please note: Children are generally not in academic classes during
January to March, however volunteers are appreciated for extra help during this period. You
will be expected to work under your own initiative and to show an interest to be involved in
all activities, particularly sport.
Please note: Itineraries and activities are subject to
