A wonderful opportunity, to teach in a school in the Darjeeling Hill Region for 3 months as a volunteer. Teacher required filling in for the class teacher of class UKG, for 3 months, who will be on maternity leave from the beginning of their new school year starting on the 11th of February.
Pupils are approximately 6 years of age, both male and female. The Volunteer will have the help of an assistant to assist with language difficulties; the teaching medium is English and the local language Nepalese.
St Stephen’s is a lovely new school, which overlooks Mount Kangchen Dzo nga. The pupils follow a very full curriculum with attention given to extra curriculum activities.
The people of the Hill Region value education and there are no serious discipline issues, the children and their parents regard education as a privilege.
Food and lodgings will be provided, but the volunteer will have to meet other expenses. The people of the Hill Regions are poor financially but very rich culturally.
This is a wonderful opportunity for a teacher who is not in employment at present, and would enjoy the experience of teaching in a foreign country, in a village school, alongside local teachers.
The weather is very good at this time of the year and the mountain views spectacular.

Pauline MacInnes
