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.
