Introduction


 
First of all, I would like to present myself. I am Kinsley Ah-chion. I am 19 years old and I registered myself for volunteering in Africa through IFRE organisation for the month of January and February 2013. I have chosen the educational plan, orphanage and assisting masaai women in crafting and developing income generating ideas.


I am actually a student of Mass communication at Charles Telfair Institute in partnership with Curtin University of Australia. I am planning to specialise myself in web media and marketing for my majors. I dedicated myself to teach English when I was still at the St Mary’s college during my free time to needy students and education is somehow a valuable tool for me.


I believe that education is very important and that it is everyone’s right to get. The training of a human mind is not complete without education. This is why I am entirely supporting such projects and thus getting involved in such projects that provides education to children in need. Thus, with education, it is your only chance to make a difference in life, to move on and out of poverty. Education can enable someone to change the structures which determine the poverty he is stuck within.

Despite English being a daily language, a good quality English education is a dream for many students. Many rural Tanzania public schools and several private schools are seeking qualified English teachers, especially native English speakers. Tanzania is a popular tourist destination and a strong knowledge of English can open many doors for youth. In the Tanzania teaching English project, volunteers teach English to nursery, primary and secondary school students between the ages of 6 and 16-years old. This is a project which will last for about 8 weeks where a class in primary, secondary or high school will be assigned to me to teach English 2-3 hours a day. (6 days a week). Other assistance is also needed with organizing games, drawing, singing, dancing and other creative education and extra-curricular activities. Volunteers work mostly as an assistant to the main English teacher.
