Question

【题目】

Do you want to spend your summer holiday in a meaningful way? Do you want to make a difference to the lives of children? Join us now and become a volunteer teacher of English!

We are a charity and we help children in poor areas in India. We need volunteers to join us and teach English to these children, and help make their lives better.

Volunteer teachers will work with children aged 6 to15 and teach classes up to 30 children.

We welcome volunteers with or without teaching experience. We will organize a two-week training programme before you go to India.

This is a special chance to gain important life experience. You will meet other young people from all over the world, and learn more about Indian culture. Most importantly, you will make a difference to a community in need. Education can change a child’s life forever. Help us make that change today.

What our volunteers say:

“This has been a wonderful experience. I loved teaching my class and India is a beautiful country. I’ll never forget the three months I spent here!”

—Jane

"After my 2-month volunteering experience there, I realize how lucky I’m at home. Some children in India live in very poor conditions, but they’re very hard-working. They want to improve the lives of their families in the future. I’m very happy to be able to help them in some small way.”

—Mike
