We recently read a very wonderful experience one of our VolunTutors had! It's truly worthwhile to spend your time with a child who eagerly wants to learn and from whom you can learn from too!

Happy VolunTutors, Happy Kids
Dear VolunTutor,
During every session, we truly share our joy with the children and the children also make us so happy! Their desire to learn, their enthusiasm, their idealism is infectious! We are so thankful for every volunteer who has come and made a difference in the lives of the children!
Come this Saturday?
We will need 30 volunteers. Please be sure to alert me if you plan to come - text 09985513165 so you can be informed of any last minute announcements.
You don't have to be a whiz at Math and English, and no teaching experience is required - we just need you to listen to the children and to help them read books and worksheets (provided) and maybe understand their lessons (if you need assistance, other tutors may be asked). Don't be apprehensive about forgetting the basics from gradeschool, we've forgotten too. It's a team and we help each other remember. What's most important is that these children make a friend who encourages them to go on.
Just an hour to encourage them that learning can be enjoyable is more than enough. Seeing people who care is enough.
