  Descripción

  I'm Fafah, a wife, a mother of 3 lovely kids, 18, 15 and 6 years old.I run an English immersion school. The first and only school in our region where English is the main medium of instruction, only the preschool and elementary children are taught in English but the secondary kids are taught in French. The teachers are not very fluent in English though so we need native speakers or good speakers of English to mingle with the kids.
  I want to provide a better quality education for kids in my region. English immersion schools exist only in very big cities and they are very expensive, but many parents want to send their children to English immersion schools because of the domination of the English in many fields nowadays. Thus, I decided to start an English immersion school, I wanted to provide the opportunities to kids in small towns like mine.
  
  The school fee is very cheap, just to fairly pay teachers, we also accept smart kids who want to join us but whose parents can't afford the school fee, for free. There are 23 kids who study at our school for free right now.Thus, unfortunately we can't afford to pay workawayers,
  
  What do we need? English native speakers or someone who speak English fluently to lead activities in English with our kids and teenagers and to lead the English club every Wednesday afternoon in the school.
  If you are good at maths or have taught Maths, that skill can be very helpful too.
  
  Our school needs a website, if you can help with that, you are more than welcome.
  There is a dance club and guitare club in the school, so, any help with these are welcome too.
  The title is English but if you speak English or French, you can help us, we need French speakers as well, The medium of teaching is French for the secondary classes.
  
  What can we give in exchange of your help?
  We can provide a room for you, free lunch from the school canteen during the school days if you can eat local food and We will guide you how to do shopping at the local market at the beginning so you can prepare your own meal in the evening and morning. Our location is 40mn from the second most visited national parks where you can see varieties of lemurs and numerous endemic plant species. We can give you a free ride there, or you just take the local bus and go there on the weekend by yourself.
  We usually drive the volunteers to a park where there are many colorful chameleons. The volunteers pay their entry fee and guide service which is around 12€, but we provide the fuel and lunch, we usually have a picnic lunch and kind of family time with you .
  We can also help organize your tour if you want to visit different places in Madagascar after your stay.
  We can also help to find a family ( from the parents) who can host you for a weekend or a whole week if you want to experience a home stay family .

  I speak Malagasy as my mother tongue. I speak French because this is our second official language, I speak English as I am an English teacher, I speak Japanese a little because I have studied and lived in Japan for 18months. I want to improve my Japanese and I want to learn Spanish and italian in the future. I just love learning languages . I also want to teach you ESPERANTO if you want, it's a peace language, very easy for European language speakers and it connects people from different country

  Alojamiento

  We have two volunteer rooms : one is for one volunteer : A separate room downstair in the school compound. The room has a small sink where you can prepare your breakfast and dinner. There is a gas stove and a gas tank for you use, also some basic kitchen tools are available. There is a only one bed , double bed where two people who can share a bed can fit.The bathroom is quite small and there is no hot water for the moment;
  We live in a simple place where there was no running water and we need to heat water everytime we take a bath.
  The other room is bigger for two volunteers or a family.It has one small bed and a big bed.
  The workaway can eat with us as a family or with the students at lunch however I want to precise that we are neither vegetarian nor vegan, so we cannot prepare non meat eaters food. Thus vegetarian and vegan workawayers can prepare their own food.
  
  Volunteers are not meant to pay any fee.
  However, if they travel or do activities outside the teaching project, they will be responsible of their own expense. They will also pay for their transport to and around Madagascar even if we can help arrange them for their safety;
  We also have garden project on the way, some volunteers have planted trees there, if you want to leave a long lasting impact and souvenir, you can plant your tree there, we name the tree after you and you can come back in the future to see your tree if you want.We have trees named Tim, Claire, Carine, Sabine and Finn for the moment.
