Project hosted by

Teaching -learning activities are conducted in anold fashioned way. This does not prepare qualityhuman resource needed for the country.Teachers in rural areas lack training and usechalk and talk as teaching method, asking theirstudents to copy from a board. The teachershardly prepare their lessons. We want to changeteaching from teacher centered to childrencentered. Only motivated and passionateteachers can bring desiredchange into their classroom practices. You as a qualified, trained and experiencedvolunteer can become an instrumental support for those teachers.

Directions to meeting point

VIN staff will pick each volunteer from the airport. The volunteers are requested to send their flight details to VIN on time so that we can send our staff with your name card and VIN s Logo.
