Re-assigned

As I mentioned before I was originally assigned for volunteer placement to the Chem Chem nursery. With trying to juggle placements and where the need is they asked if they could re-locate me. I'm still in the same area and still working with the same age group just at a different nursery, Tumaini Nursery - this one seems like it will be more of a challenge as they mention that many of children suffer from abuse. Here is the description that they sent me:

Project Summary
This nursery is situated about a 45 minute walk from the Moshi voluntary house in a large but poor village. The school was founded in 1999 by Olivia the main teacher at the school who set it up to help the children in her local community. The children are aged between 3 and 6 and live in conditions of extreme poverty and often suffer abuse, so volunteers should expect the children to have learning difficulties and problems; despite this the children are very energetic, happy and keen to learn.
There are 200 children attending this school and there is only 1 classroom so the classes are split into morning classes and afternoon classes. Of the 200 children 10 of them are orphans and over half are street children.

Activities
This school has 200 children and only 2 teachers, the children therefore do not receive much individual teaching attention. As they can not afford to pay for another teacher, the school relies on volunteers. You will be teaching English, very basic Math’s, games, songs and nursery rhymes.

Schedule
The morning class is for children aged between 3 and 4 and starts at 8.00am and finishes at 11am. The afternoon class is for children aged 5 to 6, class starts at 12pm and finishes at 2pm.

There is also opportunity for afternoon projects since this one finishes up at 2. Most of these include working with the adults in the community to develop their English and computer skills. What's nice is that with some of these project they may teach me Swahili in return for teaching them English!
