Searching for Canadian teacher to develop study materials

March 4, 2009

We are getting much interest in School Match, our Canadian/Afghan school twinning program.

While it is important to provide learning materials to Afghan schools, we believe that Canadian and Kandahar children involved would gain much more if they share their experience.

As such, We are searching for a teacher to volunteer their time to develop a small package of appropriate study materials to complement the program. Our goal is to sensitize Canadian children with the lives of their Afghan peers.

No travel is involved, but the volunteer would have to be a self-starter. Meanwhile in Kandahar, local counterparts will prepare similar materials for their students. Skills Generation will act as a bridge between both groups. Beyond that it’s up to us to figure the next step.

We can’t pay you anything other than understanding that you are making a difference.
