STREET CHILD

Want to do something amazing in your holidays and also improve your CV?

Street Child is a charity working in West Africa that is dedicated to empowering some of the most vulnerable children in the world by giving them the chance to go to school and giving their families the means to keep them there. Since its launch in 2008, Street Child has reunited 2,000 street children with their families and created educational opportunities for more than 20,000 children.

We are looking for primary or secondary teachers (from PGCE students to senior management) who are looking for a new and exciting challenge in 2014. You will travel to Sierra Leone in the Easter or Summer holidays for 1 -2 weeks and help us run some simple workshops and work alongside our Sierra Leonean teachers. On your return you will have the option of building a sustainable relationship with other UK teachers/schools and those you have worked with out there.

Whilst out there you will have time to explore Sierra Leone and our projects, get involved in hands on education work with street children, travel to some of the remotest parts of Sierra Leone and to meet other UK teachers keen to develop and share resources. It will be a chance to really make a huge difference to the lives of thousands of children and travel to an incredible country. Of course it won’t all be work, there will be plenty of opportunities to relax and unwind and enjoy the beautiful country.

Packages are £1000 including return flights from London, visas, accommodation, food during the day, travel around Sierra Leone and a trip to a remote village in the North (not to be missed). It also includes a pre-departure meet and greet event in London. There are limited places so hurry!
