Which social issues do you face?
We are located in the village and our children around us are being sponsored by the school. There are so many children in the village we don't sponsor yet.
And how do you try
to solve these issues?
Because we would like to give so many more children the opportunity to come to school at Dinka, we are always fundraising through our Dutch foundation, Stichting Dinka.
What is your program exactly about?
Educating children from poor backgrounds and to make sure they have a bright future ahead of them.
What is the role of the volunteer?
The role of the volunteer is to assist the teachers in classes and to guide/ implement co-curricular programs and subjects like sports, music, theater, drama, reading, writing, dance, gardening, cooking etc.!
What do we expect from the volunteers?
To follow the same timetable as our teachers and to implement our programs and new programs into the daily lives of our students.
What can the volunteers
expect from you?
We would like to guide you from even before you come to Tanzania so you get the most out of this amazing experience !
