Kindergarten Teacher in Zimbabwe
Program Category:
Child Care
Our Kindergarten was established in 2014 as part of an internationally sponsored community development initiative. Until then, the children of Sizinda village had no access to formal education or daytime care – a few of the local adults would conduct informal classes under trees in the village, but these were often poorly attended. The facility currently educates 26 children between the ages of 3 – 5yrs. At the moment, the kindergarten is dependent on volunteer teachers from the community who are paid a small fee by the parents, if and when extra money is available. A feeding program is also run here, but only when resources allow.
This program is designed for
At least 18 years old, creative and hard worker and must have a go-get attitude
Volunteer Responsibilities
The local teachers often do not have any formal education, themselves, so international volunteers play an important role in not only assisting with the kids, but also empowering the teachers.
