Volunteer in Africa
Teaching:
Volunteer work in classrooms, choosing what ages and topics to teach. Art and sport are the most popular. Traditional teaching in Uganda is rote learning and memorization which produces students with grades, but have little practical application of classroom knowledge. Our aim is to encourage innovation, creativity, teamwork, fun, literacy, and general knowledge in primary school students. We work on practical science projects with both teachers and our learners to enhance understanding, comprehension and application of concepts in real life. We have so far partnered with Excel kids Academy and Excellent Life church ministries www.excelkids.excelministriesug.org to provide such opportunities to volunteers. partner with us, impact communities create a vibrant tomorrow
