My trip to Moshi, Tanzania as a volunteer through Cross-Cultural Solutions is coming around quickly. It is an exciting time having just learned of my official placement; I will be teaching children and assisting teachers at Mwereni Primary School. Despite only have 28 teachers (4 men & 24 women), Mwereni Primary School founded in 1943 caters to a total of 904 pupils (446 boys & 458 girls). Among those 904 pupils, 21 are visually impaired and 120 are orphans. Due to the shortage of staff and resources, volunteers such as myself, are warmly welcomed and highly valued. My duties will consist of teaching a range of subjects, from Maths and English through to Sports and Arts & Crafts. I will also work closely with the teachers to develop lesson plans and form materials that can be used for years to come. Creativity is a must with lack of supplies and modern equipment. In preparation for my placement I have been developing methods of teaching the children subjects in Kiswahili as well as English. I look forward to the lessons I will teach the children and the lessons they will teach me.
