Truly an unforgettable and fulfilling experience! Leaving someone was never this hard, despite being there for only 2 weeks. But the tears that I cried only showed how much love and gratitude I was surrounded with. I felt welcomed from the very first day, both by the hosts (especially Nilu) and by the children. I would personally have appreciated more guidance when it came to teaching, for example through textbook topics or pictures. There are 4 classes for which you have to prepare in advance, and I recommend bringing some interactive materials, like picture cards and a bunch of stickers :)

It was a really lovely experience. The first few days it was difficult to settle in, but after that I felt really good – well looked after and comfortable. We worked with the children in the mornings and had the whole afternoon to ourselves. The children are adorable. Just one piece of advice: you need to be prepared to improvise and have a few tricks up your sleeve, because we usually had a different group every day; the ages and levels of English therefore varied, and at the start of each lesson we had to da quick assessment to see what we could teach and how much depth we could go into.

I had a great time volunteering at a nearby school in the village. Everyone was welcoming and working with the children was a really good experience. English is not their first language so it would be great to carry some nice picture cards to assist with the teaching if possible. we were well taken of at the house. We only volunteered for a few hours in the morning and had the remainder of the day to explore. It was really great, i loved it.
