Messengers of Love Summer 2021 English Teaching and Cultural Exchange Program
The application deadline is May 15th 2021.
Messengers of Love is recruiting individuals who are fluent in the English language, both oral and written, and have a desire to contribute to the education of underprivileged children to participate in the English Teaching and Cultural Exchange Program. English is a language used in commerce and higher education and this summer school helps these children have a better chance of succeeding in life. We are looking for volunteers to teach English to poor and disadvantaged students ages 7 to 18 in north and central Vietnam. Along with English, we would also like to teach basic skills in using a computer and exchange cultural values. There will be two teaching sessions one from June 14th - July 5th, and one from July 12th - Aug 2nd.
Volunteers will be provided with a curriculum, all classroom materials, a local assistant, as well as food and lodging in the village you teach in. You will teach two 3 hour sessions, one in the morning, and one in the afternoon, and one hour for after class tutoring and/or fun activities. The classrooms will have approximately 20 – 25 students each.
"If you decide to do any touring of Vietnam after your teaching assignment, we would be happy to help you in making arrangements.
