"The International Development Placement Association is rendering a significant service in our foreign relations. We of the West have too long and too often gone to the East with a domineering, ruthless, and exploitive attitude. If we are to become partners with the Asians in the works of peace, we must learn to go to Asia with humility and understanding. The International Development Placement Association is one of the agencies that meets this high standard. The men and women whom it sends to Asia will work in the villages, helping people there to help themselves. These emissaries will do more to build understanding between these two worlds than all the wealth and all the military might America can muster."
-- Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, Washington, D.C., December 6, 1951.
Here is the story, including the connecting links to the Peace Corps.
During my senior year at Berea College, while serving as national chair of Students for Democratic Action (the student division of Hubert Humphrey's Americans for Democratic Action) I corresponded with University of Michigan graduate George Shepherd, then studying for a doctorate at the London School of Economics, and with students Julius Kiano (from Kenya) and Nelson Jonnes (sic) at Antioch College, Ohio. The four of us, and Berea classmate Galen Martin, agreed there ought to be a program that would place people in modestly-paid jobs with indigenous organizations and governments in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
The people placed, we proposed, would be idealists with zeal for humanitarian service but without the ethnocentric holier-than-thou attitudes which for decades had characterized all too many Americans and Europeans in their contacts with the darker-skinned two-thirds of humanity. We had had experiences in Quaker-sponsored voluntary workcamps where students contributed their labor to inner city community improvement projects, but now we were thinking of entry-level jobs for teachers, nurses, agricultural extension and community development workers, and cooperative organizers -- people who would live and work closely with their host country co-workers.
My exploratory efforts began with a June 12, 1951 three-page mimeographed letter sent from my home address in Lansing, Michigan, to some 65 youth and student leaders in many states. The letter focused on the need for skilled, motivated people to work in Africa, but in a few weeks we were including Asia and Latin America as well. While I pondered a choice between a post-B.A. year at Oxford (where I'd been accepted by Ruskin College, a British trade union institution), and a tentative offer of a very challenging job managing an African farmers' marketing cooperative in Uganda, my draft board informed me that since I hadn't yet served Uncle Sam, I couldn't pick either of those options -- I was told not to leave the country.
So the Fall of 1951 found me living at Pendle Hill, a Quaker adult education center in Wallingford, outside Philadelphia. It became my congenial three-month home base while I proposed -- and sought board members, endorsements, and funding for -- a new organization. After first using the name International Development Association, we concluded it should be called the International Development Placement Association. It would be a non-profit agency, to recruit highly motivated applicants with entry-level skills needed in widely assorted jobs with indigenous organizations and governments in developing nations. I.D.P.A. would recommend carefully selected applicants to those institutions and government agencies. Accustomed to the tight budgets of non-profit organizations, we did not anticipate being able to have I.D.P.A. itself employ, transport or pay medical or other expenses of the recruits -- as Peace Corps would later do.
As potential I.D.P.A. board members I sought primarily experienced leaders of U.S. youth and student organizations; several of us had been involved in the 1947 formation (at a national convention in Madison, Wisconsin) of the National Student Association, whose first president, Bill Welch, was from Berea College. Two highly important recruits for the I.D.P.A. leadership were Harris Wofford (the first president of Student World Federalists, in later years a J.F.K. staff member and Peace Corps Associate Director; college and university president; U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania; and in the 1990's, C.E.O. of the Corporation for National Service) and Frank Wallick (my predecessor as chairman of the student division of A.D.A.; in later years editor of the United Auto Workers' very effective Washington newsletter).
Harris Wofford landed urgently needed foundation grants (from Stringfellow Barr's Foundation for World Government), to get us started. Frank Wallick was soon an assistant to Congressman Henry Reuss (D., Wisconsin), who was to play a crucial role in the procession toward the 1961 triumph of the idea. I felt Frank Wallick's two-year experience as a Brethren Service Committee volunteer working at subsistence pay in pre-Communist China would be valuable, on the IDPA board; most of us then had very limited overseas experience.
In an effort to gain widespread support for the I.D.P.A. concept, I sought and to my great satisfaction received ringing endorsements from Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, T.V.A.'s former Chairman David Lilienthal, and International League for the Rights of Man (and A.C.L.U.) founder Roger Baldwin.
I thought of myself as an organizer, not a potential I.D.P.A. administrator, and had decided to begin graduate study of economic development planning in January, 1952 at the University of Chicago (in the Planning Program headed by Rex Tugwell and Harvey Perloff). Thus I was pleased that Barrington Dunbar, who had been a UN Children's Fund representative in Haiti, was available to serve as IDPA's first Executive Secretary. After I left for Chicago, Clifford Dancer was elected board chair at a December '51 I.D.P.A. board meeting, and Peter Weiss was soon chosen as I.D.P.A.'s Executive Director, based in a new office in N.Y., which then moved to the Carnegie Endowment International Center, two blocks from the United Nations. I.D.P.A. seemed to be on its way; my only remaining role was to serve in 1953 as an I.D.P.A. advance "scout" in Gandhi's chosen central India village, Sevagram, after a hitchhiking-to-India adventure. Harris and Clare Wofford's book INDIA AFIRE had inspired my interest in Sevagram, where Gandhi and his Nai Talimi Sangh (New Education Organization) had established a training center for teachers and rural development workers.
By the time I.D.P.A. began folding, in 1954, for lack of major financial support, office files held applications from 502 potential volunteers. (I.D.P.A. had lost its tax exempt status due to the failure of two I.R.S. staff members to understand and appreciate its "placement" function.) Eighteen pioneering men and women, most of them under 30, had been placed in a wide variety of teaching and social service positions in India, Nigeria, Indonesia, Uganda, and elsewhere. Government agencies, non-profit organizations and universities in several additional countries were requesting applicants. In his 1980 book OF KENNEDYS AND KINGS: MAKING SENSE OF THE SIXTIES Harris Wofford noted that "I.D.P.A. proved that the assignments were waiting and young Americans were ready, but that placement and recruiting was unduly costly when done on a small scale" (p. 253).
But as the reader knows, that was not the end of the story. In 1955 I.D.P.A. board member Frank Wallick and his wife Ruth joined the staff of Congressman Henry Reuss (D., Milwaukee). Frank Wallick encouraged Reuss' interest in international volunteerism, and assisted in promoting the "Point Four Youth Corps" bill which Reuss introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives. Reuss, and Senator Hubert Humphrey, with his U.S. Senate "Peace Corps" bill -- using that name for the first time -- proposed that resources of the federal government should make possible what major foundations had been unwilling to risk doing.
In the 1960 Wisconsin and West Virginia Democratic presidential primary campaigns Hubert H. Humphrey advocated establishment of a Peace Corps. In his 1976 book THE EDUCATION OF A PUBLIC MAN, Humphrey recounted how, after losing the crucial West Virginia primary to the Kennedy forces, "since I was not to get the presidential nomination, I was determined that Kennedy adopt as many of my proposals as possible." Humphrey "set out to influence his decisions, particularly in the areas in which I could make my greatest contributions: agricultural policies, civil rights, economic development, arms control, and the Peace Corps" (p. 229).
Kennedy staff members also recommended the idea to the nominee. After Kennedy briefly spoke of the possibility -- never using the words Peace Corps -- in a huge rally on the front steps of the University of Michigan Union at 2 a.m. on October 14, public support, especially among young people, was soon widespread, and became impressive even to hard-nosed politicians.
Wofford was soon one of newly-appointed Director Sargent Shriver's close colleagues in establishing the Peace Corps administration. Sixteen months after I received a most welcome February 18 '61 come-to-Washington-Monday telegram from Shriver I left my political science graduate studies at Harvard to be Peace Corps' first Community Relations Director. In that role I proposed and organized Peace Corps recruiting & support groups ("Peace Corps Service Organizations") in 25 U.S. cities, and provided Peace Corps staff and volunteer speakers with periodic compilations of talking points and overseas Volunteers' human interest stories.
But Washington, D.C. lacked the appeal of serving in the third world. After I read in the new regulations that Peace Corps "Volunteer Leaders" (unlike Volunteers) could take dependents with them, my family and I signed up for two years in West Cameroon, south of Nigeria. Based near Bamenda, 200 miles in from the coast, I proposed and organized a 1300-member crafts marketing cooperative which soon doubled the monthly income of many of its woodcarver, pottery and basket-maker members. The "Cameroon Handwork Cooperative" at first had its sales shop in a two-room mud-brick house I rented for $5 a month. A month later we moved it to a $10 per month four-room house, and started trying to export; the first order from the UN Gift Shop was a major thrill. At last report the Cameroon Handwork Cooperative is still going strong, in larger quarters, nearly 40 years later.
Back in New York after the two Cameroon years, one day I noticed a gift counter in Lincoln Center's Philharmonic Hall. Crafts and other items relating to the performing arts were being displayed and sold. I asked the clerk to hand me a pair of basketry-covered musical shakers -- which make a tchh-tchh-tchh sound to accompany African drumming. They still bore a Cameroon Handwork Co-op label with the member's name in my handwriting. The maker of the shakers had been a beggar in a remote village prior to formation of the co-op. But to each monthly meeting in his village he was now bringing a big burlap sackful of his shakers, and receiving payment at a rate twice what any of them could be sold for in his own area. I mailed him a Philharmonic Hall photo postcard -- perhaps the first mail he would ever have received. A schoolboy would read it to him: "Your shakers are being sold in THIS BUILDING in New York City. . . ."
That elderly villager now had a regular source of income beyond his dreams. . . and nine successive American Presidents, Democrats and Republicans, have proudly supported the Peace Corps idea. Sometimes a good idea works out.
1. Mary Corsi had already helped me produce a 22-page pamphlet entitled "Bread, Butter, & Brotherhood: Job Opportunities for College Graduates in the Trade Union and Cooperative Movements."
2. The article was written for an anthology on student leadership after World War II, to be published later this year by the American Council on Education; Eugene G. Schwartz, Malden-on-Hudson, N.Y., is the editor.
You two! I'm exceedingly impressed with your contribution to mankind and was totally unaware of your work until now. The article reads smoothly and clearly; well-defined. Both of you have kept your light hidden under a bushel far too long. I'm prouder yet to call myself your friend and applaud you for talents, your ambition and your stamina as well as your outstanding contribution. Our country needs more people like you two.
Here here! I believe that both Doug and Mary is an inspiration to us all. Knowning Doug is as close as I ever come volunteering for the PC but I did visit a few weeks in a poor country to see my friends there. Any ways, I feel that in my own way with my new chosen profession, I hope to emmulate his ideals.
As a recent friend of the Kelley's, I have been so impressed with the commitment to this worthy cause. Doug started something that has had lasting effect on our young people and the world. I am so proud to tell his story to my friends.
I don't think we have seen each other for about 40 years but you may recall I was an IDPA placee to Molusi College, Nigeria, in 1953.
It is good to see an accurate accounting of probably the major stream that led into the Peace Corps.
Iam a student @ howard cummunity college, majoring in nusring. I would like to get some information about working as a nurse in third world countries. if there is anyone to give such information I will be greatful. I have few question that need some answers. thanks .
While you are researching the origins of the Peace Corps, I suggest you take a look at President Truman's Point 4 Program, and the contributions of Henry G. Bennett ex-president of Oklahoma A&M College.
I never cease to be amazed by your unending energy, insight and commitment to social responsibility. You are truly a model citizen for all generations!

Quatrefoil was selected to design the inaugural temporary exhibition at the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown. This new exhibition tells the story of the nation’s transition from the Revolutionary War’s final shots at Yorktown to the founding of the new nation.
“AfterWARd” examines this critical moment through the lives of four individuals. Each played an important role in the final months of the conflict. Through their post-war lives, visitors explore the different paths these “first veterans” forged. This gallery’s design creates dramatic settings and highlights the more than 50 artifacts brought together from international collectors and museums specifically for this special exhibition.
Quatrefoil’s design includes multimedia interactives. “Have You Crossed Paths with Revolutionary Veterans?” invites visitors to answer a series of questions about their lives and reveals connections between the visitor and the exhibit’s main characters. “Tell Your Story” invites visitors to review biographies of dozens of U.S. veterans from across two centuries and to leave their own personal, handwritten comments. The comments are displayed on the gallery section’s wall alongside earlier visitor comments.

Offers faculty or staff and/or other financial support to the program.
This credit focuses on programs for degree-seeking students enrolled in a for-credit program. Continuing education and/or non-credit students are excluded from this credit.
This credit recognizes ongoing student educator programs that engage students on a regular basis. For example, student educators may be responsible for serving (i.e. directly targeting) a particular subset of students, such as those living in residence halls or enrolled in certain academic subdivisions. Thus, a group of students may be served by a program even if not all of these students avail themselves of the outreach and education offerings.
Sustainability outreach campaigns, sustainability events, and student clubs or groups are not eligible for this credit unless the criteria outlined above are met. These programs are covered by EN 5: Outreach Campaign and EN 3: Student Life.
Institutions earn the maximum of 4 points available for this credit by having one or more peer-to-peer educator programs that serve (i.e. directly target) all for-credit, degree-seeking students. Incremental points are awarded based on the percentage of students served by the peer-to-peer educator program(s). For example, an institution with a program that serves 50 percent of all students would earn 2 points (half of the points available for this credit).
Report on current program status and offerings for ongoing programs. Use the most recent data available to report the number of students served by each program and the total number of enrolled students.
Include all for-credit or degree-seeking students (undergraduate and graduate); reporting on a sample or subset of students is not allowed.

Grails framework is also based upon open source technologies such as Spring, Hibernate, and SiteMesh, which gives it even more powerful and ideal for Java developers.
The Spring provides powerful inversion of control and MVC, Hibernate brings a stable, mature object-relational mapping technology with the ability to integrate with legacy systems, and SiteMesh handles flexible layout control and page decoration.
I am assuming you are familiar with the Groovy programming language, but if you are not, I suggest you to first go through a good book on Groovy itself e.g. Making Java Groovy, which is an excellent introduction of Groovy for Java developer.
If you prefer online courses, you can also join The Complete Apache Groovy Developer course, one of the best resources to get up-to-speed with Groovy. By going through this book or course, you will quickly get up-to-speed in Groovy to start with Grails.
Without wasting any more time, here is my list of some of the best Grails books for Java and Groovy developers.
The Definitive Guide to Grails 2, by Jeff Brown and Graeme Rocher, is one of the most authoritative books written on Grails. The fact that, Jeff is a core Grails committer and Graeme is the head of the Grails project proves my point.
The book is, as it says, definitive, though it's based on Grails 2.0 (the current version is Grails 3.3). Highly recommended.
This is another great book to learn Grails framework. Authors Glen and Peter have covered most of the core features of Grails framework. This book is quite complementary to previous books. It talks about plugins, mapping to legacy databases, and even single-page apps, among other things.
Grails 2: A Quick-Start Guide, by Ben and Dave Klein (Pragmatic Programmers).
This is one of the best beginner books on Grails and you will simply love it. It's a clear, well-written tutorial that will teach you how to build a simple but non-trivial web site from start to finish. It may leave you wanting more (that's what the other books are for), but it's an awesome way to get started if you don't have any background in the Groovy or Gails.
This should be everybody's second Grails book. It's written for developers with some Grails experience and shows what's actually going on under the hood. The discussion of Hibernate in Grails alone is worth the cost of the book and is better than most of the available Hibernate documentation.
As the title suggest it best suited for developers who are using Grails framework in their day to day life and have good exposure to it. If you want to learn Grails in depth then you can read this book after reading one of the first three books in this list.
That's all about some of the best books to learn Grails framework. As I said before, you must know Groovy before you start with Grails to get the most benefit of it. Even though most of the Grails book includes the basic introduction of Grails and Gradle framework, I recommend reading a good book or joining a course on Groovy first to understand its syntax and how it works. My favorite is The Complete Apache Groovy Developer course, but if you prefer books, you can check out my earlier list of good Groovy Books for Java developers.
Thanks for reading this article so far. If you like my recommendation and found these book helpful in learning Grails then please share with your friends and colleagues. If you have any question or feedback or any other great Grails book to include in this list then please share with us.

Arnold Announces "The Schwarzenegger Institute"!
Hey, how would you like to enroll in a place called "The Schwarzenegger Institute"? Maybe you'll take classes on falling down waterfalls, proper minigun shooting technique, speaking with the highest levels of confidence and inspiration on any topic (in an Austrian accent), and of course, pumping up for at least 15 minutes every day? Well, that is not quite what the Schwarzenegger Institute for Public Policy is about.
Arnold Gives Us Movie Exclusive During the Classic!
Friday, March 2, 2012 TheArnoldFans, having just had "Breakfast with Arnold" Friday morning in Columbus, Ohio, was able to get a real big exclusive out of the returning on-screen action hero. I asked the Austrian Oak how he enjoyed being back on movie sets and to tell us about his next projects. Before today's breakfast, all of his fans were confused about Arnold signing on with Stallone and Jim Caviezel in The Tomb when we all thought he had an April 1st start date of Black Sands. Which film comes first? We had this question answered by Arnold himself! We have the exclusive, so listen up!

This blog courtesy of Kyle Laramie, President and Co-Founder of Veterans Care Coordination, a national organization that assists veterans and spouses in obtaining the Aid and Attendance benefit.
Each year on July 4, we honor our founding fathers and their great vision for a country whose citizens could enjoy the freedoms and independence they had previously been deprived. The holiday gives us a chance to reflect on the sacrifices they, as well as the soldiers who fought in the Revolutionary War, made to allow our great democracy become a reality.
It is in that spirit, honoring those who have fought for our freedoms as well as helping people to maintain their independence, that Veterans Care Coordination (VCC) was founded. Simply put, our company helps veterans, spouses, surviving spouses, and their families navigate the arduous approval process of acquiring the pension with aid and attendance benefit through the Department of Veterans Affairs. The program is a little-known allowance that provides an enhanced pension to pay for in-home assistance and care, allowing older veterans and their spouses to live independently as long as possible.
According to VA statistics, a significant amount of eligible beneficiaries are either unaware of this benefit or do not realize they are eligible to apply. VCC is dedicated to guiding and assisting veterans and their surviving spouses to get the benefits they not only need, but have also earned. VCC strives to help this group with the same honor and integrity with which they served our country. VCC also offers interest-free loans in situations where a veteran, spouse or surviving spouse cannot afford the out-of-pocket costs of needed in-home services, while waiting for the VA to begin reimbursement. Often without the loan, the veteran or spouse may not be able to access needed services because of their inability to pay. VCC’s unique program alleviates the unnecessary worry, financial burdens and family hardships a waiting period may cause.
I began VCC in April 2011 with just five employees. VCC now employs more than 30 people on a full-time basis. Our employees are drawn to work at VCC because of our mission. Most of our employees have at least one family member who is a veteran and I am no exception. Each day, I am driven by the memory of my grandfather, Norbert Laramie, a WWII American hero who unnecessarily missed out on essential VA benefits. Our family simply did not know about the resources that were available to assist him in his golden years. And that is my daily motivation – to allow those who served yesterday to benefit today.
If you’d like to learn more about VCC please visit their website at VeteransCareCoordination.com.
If you’re looking for care and think you may qualify for the Aid and Attendance benefit, please contact your local Home Helpers office by calling 1-800-216-4196.

After a weekend of mostly having just three children with us due to S (12) being with her Theatre School performing at the Victorian Christmas Festival at the Historic Dockyard, we finally arrive at December. She had such a great time at the festival and learned so much given street performing is something she has never experienced before. She came home exhausted.
Whilst S was doing her thing, the rest of us decided to take in some Beach Therapy at Witterings.
Other than that, we’ve had a Tevo box installed which has filled the living room with cartoons; Twin Dad has given lick of paint to the living room area as the new cream sofa made the walls look incredibly mucky; I alongside my business partner had our first Earth Conscious pop up shop event at Portsmouth Yoga Studio; two new monster high dolls have joined us and L has stayed up til the early hours to finish Hunger Games Book 1. He purchased book 2 and book 3 at the same time and is currently engrossed. Will really be looking for book suggestions for him once this series has finished. Any ideas, please do comment.
Today Monday the 1st December means the Advent Calendar is back out. Number 1 pouch contained 4 chocolates and the task of writing our Christmas Wish Lists. The countdown has begun.

Responsibility Update 2017 outlines Gore Fabrics’ latest efforts to continually improve its environmental and social impacts.
FELDKIRCHEN-WESTERHAM (December 20, 2017) – Efforts by W. L. Gore & Associates Fabrics Division to improve its environmental footprint and to promote socially responsible operations across the value chain are the focus of the Gore Fabrics Responsibility Update 2017, released this week https://www.gore-tex.com/experience/responsibility.
The update details how Gore Fabrics Division is using scientific research to drive environmentally improved material innovations that deliver uncompromised performance with a reduced environmental footprint of Gore Fabrics’ products. In addition, the report details Gore Fabrics’ ongoing efforts to promote healthy workplaces throughout its value chain, as well as its Associates’ involvement in several volunteering (social giveback) programs.
Regarding environmental responsibility, the report covers Gore Fabrics’ journey towards setting public goals to eliminate PFCs of Environmental Concern from the life cycle of its consumer fabrics products, latest with shipment end of 2023. For some end-uses, Gore Fabrics will offer outdoor products with Durable Water Repellency (DWR) treatments that are free of PFCs of Environmental Concern for the retail season Autumn/Winter 2018.
In addition, the report covers Gore Fabrics’ work to achieve further certifications from credible third parties such as bluesign® systems and OEKO-TEX®, as well as its work as a founding member of the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC), which works to transform the apparel and footwear industry towards more sustainable business practices across their complex supply chains. It also highlights recent efforts to increase its use of solution dyeing, which results in a substantial decrease of water use and carbon emissions, as well as its efforts to increase Gore’s offering of recycled face textiles, a process that employs recycled plastic bottles as the source of material to create yarns.
Regarding social responsibility, the report details Gore Fabrics’ efforts to promote fair labor standards also in facilities operated by Gore business partners, using the Sustainable Apparel Coalition’s HIGG Index as an assessment tool supporting its own Guidelines for Social Responsibility. It also highlights three volunteering efforts Gore Associates have initiated with support of the company, as well as a lighthouse project using Gore Fabrics products to reduce landfill pollution.

Hey guys, probably a dumb question, but a friend gave me an extraordinary deal on an Eibach Anti-roll kit (both front and rear sway bars). My question is do sway bars and the polyurethane bushings put extra strain on any part of the suspension that I should know about (wheel studs, torque box, etc etc), and do I need to do any other suspension upgrades with them? The only suspension mods I have now are lowering springs and a strut tower bar. Thanks in advance for any help!
The only thing they may put more stress on is the end links. But im guessing that the sway bars came with new end links as well. If not you can get a set of energy suspension sway bar end links to go with the kit.
Really the only thing the sway bars do is help keep the inside tires planted to the road by transferring some of the weight from the out side tires during cornering.
That's what I thought. I just wanted me make sure because I'm still running the stock spindles and have not upgraded to the five lug conversion yet. I also just wanted to make sure that it would not stiffen up the suspension so much that the tires lose their independence when I go over a bump on one side or anything. I think it will be fine, but it's good to know in advance.
How in the hell do you put the rear sway bar on!? I got the front on, no problem. The rear I cannot get the damn OEM clips to fit on to the new Eibach rear sway bar and push it up. Is there a trick or is there a part I need!? How did you do it!?
It really sucked having to do it to brand new sway bars, but i had to grind off a pretty good part of the swaybar so it would fit up in the control arm. If i was you i would just throw tubular control arms which are better anyways then they have a little bracket on the bottom that is super easy to bolt the sway bar too.
Pulled intake manifold, how many times to change oil.

Costa Rica occupies the 4th position of education accessibility in the world; moreover, the government assigns over a 6% of the annual national budget to education and by law, preschoolar, primary and secondary are mandatory and free for all children nationwide. Nevertheless, the education has not been equal to all students according to their location and population.
Some of the school are crowded with more than 30 students at a classroom in the urban area, and in the rural area, all the students do not received the same amount of hours of study and less subject than in urban areas. A lot of the remote areas, they only have one teacher for all subjects and grades, and at some high schools, some subjects are taught through the television due to the lack of teachers. The teachers struggle to find a balance between providing an education with quality and attending the need of all the students with individual needs.
There is also a demand on the technical education to adults and elders in order to have a better living condition or to feel useful in the society and the government; through the Ministry of Education, does not have all the resources to cover this area and delegates this duty to other public institutions like public libraries.
Teaching Volunteers provide support to Costa Rican teachers in all different areas of the education for children and adults, from pre-elementary education help, though elementary and secondary level in different subjects like English, French, Mathematics, Physical Education and other, to adult education in areas such as computer and conversational English.
Also, by the Teaching Volunteer program, volunteers can help other institutions that provide extracurricular support to children at orphanages or clinics with tutorials or classes when children are going through any medical condition.
A computer basic training volunteer for the Public Library of Guadalupe would be involved in teaching various computer skills to children and up to and including the elderly.
A kindergarten teaching assistant volunteer at Escuela de Guayabal in Tejar de el Guarco would teach pupils age 5 to 6 years old. Must have intermediate Spanish language skills.
A volunteer pre-school teacher at Guarderia Madre y Hijo in San Jose would be assisting staff & teachers in the care & education of young children from single parents and low income families.
A volunteer physical education teacher at Escuela de Guayabal in Tejar de el Guarco would teach P.E. to all grades of pupils age 5 to 13. Intermediate Spanish Language necessary.
A volunteer music teacher at the San Gabriel Daycare Centre in San Jose would be teaching palliative Care children. Volunteers must be proficient in the instrument they chose to teach & had some experience teaching.
