    Help teach creche and school children with English, French, Arabic, Maths, Sciences or other subjects at schools on the beautiful tropical paradise island of Zanzibar.

    The mother tongue of the school learners is Swahili (Kiswahili), so the learners learn English as a second and sometimes third language. Children start as young as four years old to learn English.

    Over het programma

    The mother tongue of the school learners is Swahili (Kiswahili), so the learners learn English as a second and sometimes third language. Children start as young as four years old to learn English.

    The school that volunteers assist at has around 200 learners with around 30 learners per class. The ages of the learners are roughly 5 to 7 years old for the nursery school, 7 to 14 years old for the primary school and 15 to 18 years old for the high school classes.

    Assembly takes place in the morning and the school starts roughly at 7.30 am and finishes at 2pm.

    The volunteers will be guided by host teachers based on the school and state’s syllabus and curriculum. 

    Volunteers normally are given textbooks that contain the syllabus and/or topics to cover. Classes can be English, Arabic, French, Mathematics, Geography, Biology, Sciences and even on hygiene. Please let us know if you have a special interest in a particular subject so we can try and accommodate you. Children start learning English at 4 years old in nursery school and due to Zanzibar having such a strong tourism industry, learning languages is a priority.

    Initially the teachers always helps but as the time goes, volunteers will work alone, plan and provide lessons for classes.

    Volunteer duties:

    ·       Educational Support: Provide instruction and support to students in various subjects, following established curricula or educational programs.

    ·       Classroom Management: Manage the classroom environment, including maintaining order, discipline, and a positive learning atmosphere.

    ·       Lesson Planning: Prepare lesson plans, instructional materials, and assessments to effectively deliver educational content.

    ·       Individualised Assistance: Offer one-on-one or small group tutoring and assistance to students who require additional help.

    ·       Progress Monitoring: Assess student progress and performance and maintain records of their academic development.

    ·       Communication: Collaborate with other teachers, school staff, and parents to discuss student progress and address any concerns.

    ·       Mentoring: Serve as a mentor and positive role model for students, promoting their personal growth and development.

    ·       Cultural Exchange: Promote cultural exchange and understanding by sharing your own experiences and learning from the local community.

    ·       Adherence to Policies: Abide by the school's or organisation's rules, guidelines, and codes of conduct.

    ·       Commitment: Maintain a consistent volunteering schedule and fulfil the agreed-upon time commitment.

    ·       Continuing Education: Stay updated on educational practices and trends to enhance teaching effectiveness.

    So, if you love helping with children, believe that education is key to a great future and would love to experience the laidback tropical lifestyle of our favourite African island, then this project is for you!

    Vrijetijdsactiviteiten

    Most volunteers will enjoy the opportunity to swim every day and/or take part in the nightly community football games on the beach. Watching the sunset in the evenings (we have some spectacular ones) and visiting the beach at daybreak to watch the fishermen bring in their catch are special pleasures.

    Weekends are the perfect time to take in some day trips to visit the turtle sanctuary in the northern parts of the island, take a boat trip to  see the giant Aldabra tortoises on Prison Island, hike Jozani National park to view endangered Red Colobus monkeys, visit the butterfly farm, tour the fragrant spice farms, take traditional dhow boat trips, visit the Freddy Mercury Museum at Mercury House, snorkel one of the hot spots like Mnemba Atoll, visit heritage sites like the old Slave market or House of Wonder or buy spices and other goods at Darajani market. 

    Stone Town has been named a world heritage site by the UN and wandering through its maze of narrow alleyways and visiting its museums, marketplaces, gardens, coffee and tea houses and wharf is another pleasure. Not to mention some of the best seafood and traditional local curries to be sampled in the various eating establishments doted around the town or at the night food market at Forodhani Gardens.

    There are frequent outdoor musical events in the Old Fort and at various venues in the city and at the local dance clubs. Once a year there is the well-known Dhow Festival that takes place. 

    Zanzibar has a wealth of beautiful beaches, world class snorkelling, diving, and fishing, spice farms and numerous other interesting places to visit while you are volunteering...a true African island paradise.

    Accomodatie

    The volunteer accommodation is in a house in Malindi on the outskirts of Stone Town. It has free Wi-Fi that volunteers are able to use, and the office of the local team is also located within the same building. It is well situated allowing easy access to all the various project sites- and not too far from the beach. Travel time from the volunteer house to project sites is therefore a maximum of 30 minutes’ drive.

    The volunteer house can accommodate up to 15 volunteers at one time with a kitchen, living area and several bedrooms and bathrooms shared with other volunteers.

    Bedrooms are shared with two to three other volunteers of the same gender. Married couples can be accommodated too, and single bedrooms are possibly with an upgrade charge. Bed linen and mosquito nets are provided and electric fans for the heat.

    Bathrooms are equipped with western style toilets and showers. Volunteers will need to bring their own towels and toiletries. There is a washing machine to do laundry if volunteers bring laundry detergent. 

    As the accommodation is a shared living space, all volunteers are expected to help keep the accommodation tidy. To assist with the cooking and cleaning there is a local “mama” who works several days a week. The accommodation also has a sitting room (common room) where volunteers can relax, socialise with other volunteers and the local team as well as watching TV, Netflix or just relaxing on the sofa with a good book. There is a curfew if volunteers go out in the evening to be back before midnight.

    As volunteers become familiar with the project site, they are encouraged to use public transport (buses – dala dala) to experience local life.

    Eten & Drank

    Volunteers are provided with three local meals per day during weekdays (breakfast, lunch and dinner). Breakfast is self-serve at the accommodation and includes tea, coffee, fruits, bread (with Nutella & jam), eggs, etc. Lunch and dinner are prepared in the volunteer house. Drinking water is provided.

    Your stay will typically include daily breakfast and dinner (although self-catering may be arranged in some instances). Depending on your schedule and the location of your placement, self-served (“raid the refrigerator”) lunches will be available at home or you may want to bring a bag lunch. You will eat traditional Zanzibari/Swahili cuisine (simple but healthful foods including fresh fish and chicken, rice-based dishes, chapati and bread, fresh vegetables and fruits and juices). We can accommodate vegetarians if you let us know in advance

    During weekend, volunteers are free to use the kitchen if they wish to cook but they can also go out with or without volunteer coordinators for meals.
