- Description:
-
Many NGOs and local initiatives in India work for the welfare of street children or “working children” FSL India is one of them. The aim is to take these children away from the streets and from their working place in order to give them a chance to live a decent and balanced life. By placing them in centres, boarding schools and or day-care shelters, the aim is to put them back into the regular schooling system and/or to train them in vocational activities to give them skills that will help them to find a decent job, and keep them away from exploitation.
Much of the development work in street children projects is based on education known also as alternative education. Therefore the volunteers will be required to teach in most of the projects working with street children. So an interest in teaching and a love for children is essential in this project like all teaching project. Other work activities will involve supporting staff and the daily running of the schools.
If you have many ideas in teaching different kinds of activities such as games, songs, arts and crafts or sports and athletics to children then this type of project is for you! You will be teaching any subject depending on your personal interests and skills, such as spoken English, are also possible, depending on the interest. A creative approach to work is useful and you will have the opportunity to initiate new mini projects or activities. You will need to take a flexible approach to the work and you should be prepared to undertake a variety of tasks.
In some cases the volunteer will be required to go amidst the “tent” community to raise awareness of the teaching program, gain interest and collect children.
Note:
Please note that the Project will not run between the months of June till September, because of the monsoon season. - Notes:
