Teaching Update and Images

Trekforce field Base in Belize have sent the UK office some images from the teaching placements. The volunteers are clearly giving a lot to the schools. From painting a class room and turning it into a library, to taking the children one on one to practise reading and getting the whole class together for a game of football, the Trekforce volunteers should be very proud of what they are achieving.

Everything is going well for the volunteers. Volunteers head back to field base for the weekends to catch up with each other, share stories and talk to the Trekforce staff before returning to their host families for the beginning of the week......

Rachel and Charlotte at their school, 'Duck Run One' , where they have decorated a room and decided to turn it into a library after they found the school only had one book! The books are being flown over from the UK because Rachel's mother raised funds to purchase them after Rachel called her to explain what they wanted to do...


Sean and Will visit the volunteers to speak to them and check they are happy within their school and host family.......
