SVN has received a request to support a mission family whose son, who has special  needs, requires help with English language in preparation to go to an international Christian School in the US. He has had experience of English medium schooling for four years.
Please contact Jane Caine if this is something you are able to consider.

SVN volunteers are needed at this private school of more than 520 mostly Ethiopian children, ranging from Year 1 to Year 11. Year 12 is being added in August 2022.
To offer IGCEs, training of the Ethiopian teachers has begun, but guidance from those experienced with ‘High School’ would be appreciated.
Help would also be appreciated in the area of behaviour management and developing good behaviour policies especially with the Middle school years 7 to 9.
Length of project: 2 to 3 weeks.
 
*Volunteers have now been found for this project and it is due to take place in September 2022.

More SVN volunteers are needed to mentor teachers online at City Gates Academy in Manila in the Philippines, starting this September.

Some of the teachers have been at the nursery and primary school for a few years and others are just starting as the school is now allowed to operate in person. They have all been through Government training for the theory of rote learning.
The head teacher, Lynette Orange (from Rugby in England), seeks to train them to use a child-centred activity approach. Each teacher needs a lot of one to one support and encouragement, which we at SVN could give through fortnightly early morning online sessions. Lynette and the SVN volunteers will also be supporting one another as we start this exciting new project from the comfort of our own homes.
​
Could this be how God wants you to use some of your time to help these teachers? There are a few checks to be made, such as a DBS check and if you haven’t done a project for SVN in the last few years,  two references to be given.
