Pre-School in Allada

Project Details

At this small pre-school, the staff is very friendly and welcoming to new volunteers. Offering everything from basic learning to fun activities for the young children, the pre-school holds the well-rounded development of each child as central to their mission. Working on limited resources, the school’s four teachers are in need of lots of help.  

Volunteer Responsibilities

Volunteers are needed to teach, organize recreational activities and games for the children, sing and dance, arts projects, and assist in the classroom. Volunteers are encouraged to be creative and develop own ideas.

Location

The pre-school is located in Allada, about 30 miles from Cotonou.  All volunteers will be taken to a host family upon arrival and participate in a three day orientation to Beninois culture and their project.

Accommodations and Meals

Volunteers will stay with carefully screened host families for the duration of the program. Two meals during the week and three on weekends with your host family are included in your stay.

Requirements

Experience or education in counseling, teaching and/or childcare is helpful, but not required.  An intermediate level of French is required. French lessons are available prior to the volunteer project for an additional fee.
