For the children
of the Santa Marta Public School : provided we find the necessary
volunteers, our wish is to be able to offer an after-school program
to all the children of Kinder and those of 1st to 6th grade. After-School
lasts about 1 hour to 1 hour 1/2 after the regular school hours.
Classes can be held in English where children are encouraged to
participate in conversation or in Spanish. The classes can include
arts and crafts, games, story telling, sports and music. These
complement the formal academic material of the public school.
Children are encouraged to develop their creativity and learn
through hands-on activities.
We desperately need teachers
for these courses : the schools of this region are lacking
tremendously in the non-academic and language fields. Even the
most simple arts and crafts projects are received with great enthusiasm
by the children. Public school music programs are very limited,
so are sports. The After-School program could also complement
the academic program of the public school : some children would
enormously benefit from extra courses in English language, math,
science projects offered in a more informal and fun way. If you
feel you could share something with these children, please let
us know, even if you would be available only for one week or two.
It does not matter if you speak no Spanish, we will find a way
to make the course possible.
Let us know
- when you are available to come
and help us,
- give us a brief description of
the course you would be willing to offer,
- a list of materials needed,
- for what age group your course
is designed, as well as
- the maximum number of children
who can enroll.
Salary for the teacher is $ 10 per
class. Non-paid volunteers more than welcome of course !
Teachers and Volunteers, please
contact the following people :

We need your financial support

we need to buy materials and supplies, pay for transportation,
help some volunteers with room and board, etc...
