Description: CPCS provides free education to street children and encourages them to participate as much as possible. Most staff are volunteers and are not experienced or well educated. Simply having English as a first language is a huge asset for a volunteer here where they can help teach the staff and the target group English as well as many other subjects. Volunteers working along side the local staff and local volunteers will transfer their knowledge to both the children and the staff. Sometimes volunteers add attention and excitement, encouraging more children to participate in these education programs.
