You can now VOLUNTEER IN MALAWI with Goods4Good! We've launched a volunteer program to send students, teachers, social workers, lawyers, managers and other people with relevant experience and skills to Malawi to help in a variety of programs at our partner organizations.
In December, we'd like to send 4-6 volunteers for 2-3 weeks to work with teachers on classroom skills in under-resourced schools and orphan care centers. This is a great opportunity for college students on break, teachers on vacation, and anyone looking to do something valuable in a short amount of time and travel abroad while doing it!
Read below for more information and PLEASE send this to anyone you think might be interested - We'd like to finalize participants in the next month, so don't delay!
Please contact us at info@goods4good.org if you have questions.
Thank You!
Brigitte, Ilana and the rest of the Goods for Good team....
Teacher Methods Training
Spend two to three weeks volunteering in Malawi, running a teacher training course for nursery school and primary school teachers. The program will consist of leading workshops for teachers as well as modeling new techniques in the classroom. The overall goal of this program is to teach teachers more effective but culturally appropriate teaching techniques such as classroom management, participatory learning, etc. Volunteers will have the unique opportunity to compile and execute a curriculum of critical teaching techniques. Housing will be available at St. Mary's Rehabilitation Center, an orphanage run by Spanish nuns with first world amenities, which is where the nursery school is located. The elementary school is a five minute walk from the center. In addition, volunteers will spend five days living and volunteering at Tiyambe Nawo, a community based organization in Nkangamira, where volunteers will provide the same teacher training to the nursery school staff there. Additionally, G4G will arrange a tour of our programs and a weekend retreat.
G4G will not be offering funding for volunteers, although housing will be free of charge and basic food will be provided by St. Mary's and Tiyambe Nawo. The largest cost associated with this trip is airfare, which will be around $2,500. Volunteers should budget an additional $500 for incidental expenses associated with travel and staying in Malawi.
Degree in or experience with teaching preferred.
