The Green Lion
We have started our English Summer Camp last 8th of April 2019 and a total of 200 kids attended from 5 different locations, the three out of five locations are situated in a village remote area. Our aim is to educate the children in a fun and meaningful way. During summer the kids have a lot of down times, most of them are just playing and some of them are staying on their relatives in a neighboring towns and provinces.
This program is giving the kids an opportunity to enjoy their 2 monthsβ vacation while learning at the same time and to let them prepare and be ready for the incoming school year. Participants have chance to experience teaching the kids during summer holidays outside the school program, as this gives them a chance to teach whatever they want and making the teaching process fun. These are the activities we conducted during the summer camp: For Kindergarten:
- teach them alphabets, numbers, colours and shapes
- teach them an English basic conversation
- singing song while one of the staff playing a guitar
- dancing
- drawing and colouring
- parts of the body and a lot more
And for the Teaching program we normally used books, encyclopedia and other resources such as internet. Participants are free to teach whatever they want, and their most favourite is sharing what they have in their countries such as their culture, food, dances and language.
This program last for 2 months and on the 7th of June 2019, the last day of this program we gave them school supplies such as note books, papers, pencils, crayons, ball pens, pencil cases, eraser, sharpener and other presents. We have received some donations from our participants to give the 200 kids complete supplies they need for school. Everyone is grateful and delighted especially the parents.
