Description:
Volunteer in Malawi or Honduras! World Camp volunteers travel to one of these countries for a period of four to five weeks to participate in a structured program of travel and teaching. World Camp offers a unique approach to impacting impoverished communities that are affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic, gender inequality and environmental deterioration. The World Camp curriculum provides a dynamic and interactive teaching experience for volunteers and children.
Highlights:
- Teaching children ages 10 to 18 in rural and urban communities
- Working with local translators and teachers
- Travel daily to schools/orphanages
- Working with a team of volunteers
- Homestay with a local family
Qualifications:
World Camp seeks volunteers who are motivated to teach children and adults about challenging issues that affect communities such as HIV/AIDS, gender equality and environment. Volunteer should be in good health, physically and emotionally. Good physical conditioning is helpful as the program has many long days of travel, standing, and teaching. A positive mental attitude is essential as volunteers must be culturally sensitive, socially responsible and able to work with a team of volunteers from different backgrounds. Effective communication skills are necessary for team work and work with local translators. Teaching experience is helpful but not required.
