JUBILEE SCHOOL, Conakry, Guinea, for about two weeks in late 2019 or early 2020
We need two secondary teachers to join two primary teachers
Project Leader, Jean Brims has visited the school twice in recent years and the head teacher has now requested a visit by a team from SVN. Jean worked with the primary department, but the secondary teachers would now like to share the training to improve their teaching skills. We are looking for one or two secondary experienced teachers to complete the team, including a science teacher to help with ideas to use local items for experiments.  
The date is to be decided, but will probably be between November 2019 and March 2020 to avoid the wet season. The cost would be around £1200. The SVN Bursary Fund can support this project.

MILESTONE COLLEGE, Dhaka, Bangladesh
A Team Leader is required to set up a new project for 2020
Primary and secondary teachers are needed to provide support and training, including English language support
SVN has been asked to consider another project at this school which is well known to previous volunteers. There are opportunities to support teachers at primary and secondary level. We need someone to lead a team. We also need volunteers who can work across the school at primary or secondary level. Milestone College is a very large school and volunteers have been very well looked after on previous projects. Some have stayed a month, others stayed longer.
Please contact us on svnetprojects@gmail.com to find out more and to volunteer. We look forward to your response.


OPPORTUNITIES IN THE PIPELINE
John Perkins is investigating a possible project in Ethiopia. This might take place in the autumn of 2019. We will let you have more details when he returns from his visit there.
There is a possibility of a project in South Kenya. This might be for help with learning through play for the Nursery classes, and input with English teaching for the Upper Primary (11-14). We are awaiting a decision on this from the Trustees of the school.
We will send out more information as soon as we have it should there be a need for volunteers on the two opportunities mentioned above.

 
We thank God for the way he has used SVN to meet needs presented in various ways:
 
- RWANDA May/June 2019  This project is now fully staffed
 
- OMF contacted SVN with a need for someone with experience of working with deaf children. We identified someone who is able to do this
 
- A request for child protection training in a school in Egypt is being taken forward by an SVN volunteer.
 
- Manipur, India Thank you to those of you who volunteered for the project in Manipur, India. This project is still on hold as the Foreign Office advice is not to travel there.

How can you serve God’s church in a majority Muslim Context?

Can you support the work of God in Pakistan? Murree Christian School is a small boarding school, in the beautiful foothills of the Himalayas in North Pakistan.  Our mission school enables foreigner and national mission workers to minister throughout this needy country, knowing their children are being educated, nurtured and discipled in a Christian community.  We prepare students for GCSE and A Level exams.
From August 2019, we need:

• those with a heart for young people, who will care for and disciple students from ages 9-18, serving as their dorm parent.
• graduates/teachers willing to teach English, History/Geography, Science, Maths, Spanish, Religious Studies, Music
• An Administrative assistant/ secretary

Please be in contact as soon as possible as the visa process takes several months from appointment.
​
Though most of our staff come as mission personnel with personal support, we offer free accommodation and will consider giving a local allowance to anyone appointed to teach core subjects to GCSE and A Level or with a major dorm parenting role.  Our classes are very small, so we will also consider graduates with no teaching experience keen to see whether teaching is for them.  The opportunity is also ideal for early or recently retired teachers.
Applicants must be mature Christians who enjoy sharing life with children and/or teenagers and who would value the opportunity to nurture and disciple them.
We do also value to the help of assistants in the dorms and in the classroom and consider applicants who can only offer to come from one semester, but they will be volunteers rather than staff and not receive an allowance.  Minimum age is 18.
Please contact Dagmar Baron on principal@mcs.org.pk  and look on www.mcs.org.pk  to find out more.

A volunteer with Key Stage 1 experience is needed to assist with a week of co-operative and creative learning for children of cross-cultural workers who are usually home schooled. Participants will represent several nationalities and not all have English as a first language, so the programme focus is on practical, creative and social activities rather than on core academic subjects. Besides the Key Stage 1 class there will be a Key Stage 2 class.
