Local children in Uganda, particularly those in disadvantaged areas, rarely have the opportunity to meet and interact with foreigners. Despite the fact that English is one of Uganda's official languages, most students do not have the opportunity to practice it outside of the classroom. Interacting with them and properly speaking the language with them may also benefit their learning and boost their confidence in the language.

You will be assigned to a local school in the Kajjansi district. Your specific placement will be determined by the needs and availability of the community at the time. During the holidays, a "day-camp" style English and Sports program will be set up and run by participants with the assistance of our coordinators.

Remember that you will be in charge of preparing lessons for the class, as well as assisting the local teacher and leading classes on your own (based on your experience). We both follow the school's curriculum in a formal setting, but at some teaching placements, the lessons can be done in an informal setting, so you are free to be creative! Games, gardening, and singing are popular activities among the youngest students.

Do not be concerned about your lack of special qualifications. The entire purpose of this program is to provide any assistance possible, whether it is simply allowing children to hear English pronunciation by native English speakers or providing additional assistance with other academic subjects. Please keep in mind that anything you can provide is greatly appreciated, and we are grateful. The main goal is that, in addition to the extra learning and cross-cultural exchanges, you have touched the lives of the children, which will undoubtedly leave a special place in their hearts.

On the other hand, the core focus of our Teaching program will be determined by the needs of the Child Development Centers or schools at the time. Your main responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

• Assist children with basic hygiene and sanitation routines such as nail cutting, hair combing, hand washing, tooth brushing, and so on.
• Teaching English alongside local teachers.
• Prepares and organizes meaningful learning activities and lessons.
• Facilitates children's songs, dances, and storytelling activities.
• Facilitate learning activities such as playing fun games, coloring, and other related activities.
• Participate in other activities offered at the center or school.
• Prepare evaluation exercises.
• Mark the monthly exams or assessments.
