Description

These speakers will teach in classes and create after-school activities in order to improve the English language skills of both students and local English teachers. The project will be active the months of June, July, August and September 2015. The future volunteers can choose to come one, two or three months. The participants will have to go through a selection process and will be responsible of arranging their travel to Risaralda.
