We are Czech non-governmental organization. Our aim is to fight poverty, provide and spread enlightenment about the situation in developing countries and promote volunteering.
We primarily sends well-trained volunteers to developing countries (in the first stage to Mexico) who teach English using highly effective method. The help is aimed at rural areas with some tourist potential. The intent is that local people could make use of the knowledge of English at labour market or they could start off their own business activities connected with (eco)tourism.
In the next stage other projects are planned to be implemented - microfinance, fair-trade, e-shop with local products, help with promotion and development of (eco)touristic activities, search for sponsors for education of children (so called "adoption at a distance").
The aim of our organization is to offer the most complex developing assistance possible not only to particular families (parent and child support), but also to the whole community in a certain area. Providing English classes is the cornerstone of the cooperation
