Without a good knowledge of English their future is not bright. You do not have to be a qualified teacher to help us.
If you can help by investing a few years into the lives of these children, who come from extremely poor, marginalised backgrounds, we will all be very grateful. You will discover great fulfilment as you assist the dorm mothers and pass on study skills to the girls, uncover and develop their latent skills, train, counsel and encourage the children in many aspects of their precious formative years. You will find endless ways to exercise your creative skills.

Rwanda
Institution: Rwanda Orphans Project (Inkuru Nziza)
The Rwanda Orphans Project, run by Peter and Jenny Andrews, is in need of a Director for their Skills Training Centre in Kigali.
The project functions in five areas of Kigali, and instead of having an orphanage it provides a support system so that children can be cared for in foster homes. The Skills Training Centre was opened in one of the project areas a few years ago, to provide a vocational alternative to academic education. At present, carpentry, welding and tailoring are taught, but electrical installation, computing, plumbing and home economics are all being added this year.
The role of the School Director will be more managerial than academic, although some technical knowledge would be useful. The Director would help the school for the next two years to develop markets, improve standards and train the staff to develop in their roles, with priority being given to training up a Rwandan replacement.
The person appointed would be expected to cover their own living expenses in Rwanda.
