Costa Rica is one of the well developed countries in Central America. The economy is progressing well, the healthcare services are pretty good and the people generally are literate. But many people have been unable to get on this development bandwagon and are suffering from poverty and neglect. Its families like these that struggle to send their children to decent schools that employ trained manpower. As a result, the children grow up unable to learn many skills that are vital to get good jobs in future. Ability to read and write well in English is one of the skills.
Recognizing this reality, RCDP is supporting some of the local initiatives and we are offering volunteers a wonderful opportunity to teach English in Costa Rica. You can teach English or other subjects you are good at to young students who can, with the confidence you will provide them, go on to have a better future. You will find the students eager to learn from a foreign volunteer and generally well behaved.
You do not need previous teaching experience to volunteer in the project. You should be a good role model, wear appropriate clothes and be flexible and patient as working with students can sometimes test your nerves. We prefer volunteers with basic knowledge of Spanish, but this is not a requirement.
You will teach English and if you want, you can also teach: computers, arts and music, math, or whatever you feel you can share with children. You can also participate or become involved in extra-curricular activities like games and plays.
RCDP will provide from your every need during the project. During the project, you will stay with a host family. You will be provided with a separate room but you will have to share bathroom facilities. We have chosen our host family carefully and they will provide with a safe and secure location for you to stay. They will have experience of hosting foreign volunteers before and at least one member of the host family will be able to communicate with you in English. Staying with a host family is a wonderful way to learn about the lifestyle and culture of Costa Rica. You will be served 3 locals meals by the host family. The meals will be prepared hygienically. Our staff will also visit you regularly to check your progress and see if you’re satisfied with the project or not. So you can rest assure that you will be completed looked after while you volunteer in orphanage work project in Costa Rica.
