LATEST Opportunities - February 2018

RWANDA PROJECT
It is hoped that a team of three or four people will go to Kigali to continue
the great work started by the team last year. So far, Ann Williams (lead) and
Sue Claydon are able to commit to this, so we are looking for one or two more to
join us.
We have been asked to concentrate on English but also to help encourage and
advise on reading in all age groups (even using picture books in preschool
classes where the language is mainly Kinyarwandan, although teachers speak
English) and the provision of school libraries in one or two schools. 
Provisional dates for the visit are May 10th to 24th and the total cost would be
in the region of £1000, depending on flight costs.
For more details please contact svnprojects@googlemail.com. 

Proposed project to EMMANUEL CHRISTIAN SCHOOL, Manipur, India,
Feb/March 2019
Two people are required to train teachers in teaching Mathematics and Science and a third would be a valuable addition to review current practice, and train teachers in teaching English.
The school of 600 pupils aged 3-16 years of age, some of whom are boarders with 22 teaching staff, is situated in the beautiful Sardar Hills. It therefore benefits from a cooler climate than elsewhere in India. The cost will be about £1200 and there is a Bursary Fund available to help with cost.
For more details please contact svnprojects@googlemail.com. ​ 
 
JUBILEE SCHOOL GUINEA – this project has had to be postponed until 2019
We are looking for a Leader and team members for this project
Background to the project and details of the request are set out below.
Jean Brims has visited Jubilee school twice and the school has now requested a visit by SVN volunteers. Jean worked with primary teachers and introduced them to Jolly Phonics reading and writing programme. The head teacher has requested follow up training in reading and writing skills for primary teachers and opportunities to explore “learning by doing.” The teaching of creative activities, including art is also requested.
For secondary teachers EFL, keeping and using a library and practical science has been requested.
The development of library skills could be developed for both primary and secondary pupils.
Volunteers would need to work as a team and flexibility is essential.
One primary teacher and two secondary teachers are needed.
Accommodation will be arranged and will be basic but clean- no flushing toilets, bucket showers. It may be necessary to share rooms.
Costs: approx £1200 depending on air fares

    Meeting the Cost

    When God calls us to step out in faith in His service, He will always provide the resources.

    If you feel God could be calling you to respond to an overseas opportunity, but are concerned about raising the total cost yourself, please let us know.

    SVN has a Bursary Fund which may be able to help.
