Dear List members,
We've started a good friendly relationship with one of the more 
interesting deployments of OLPC in Colombia, specifically in Medellín.
They are looking for a volunteer that will help them with English. We 
think this is a great opportunity for a Sugar volunteer to work in a 
Deployment and engage the Maureen Orth deployment with the rest of the 
community.
Details and contact information below:

/"We are looking for good English speaker volunteers  to come work for a 
semester or a year at one of our three schools in Medellin and El Carmen 
de Vivoral, to help teach the kids in grades -K-11 English, read to 
them, establish libraries, work with them on pronunciation and reading 
comprehension, work the smartboards if possible, just to drill them in 
English, etc. They would work with some of the more advanced students in 
one of the schools but most kids are still on beginning levels. If they 
know computers, so much the better--they can also help the Colombian 
English teachers with methods and lesson plans. We have two  schools 
within the confines of the city of Medellin--both high up over the city, 
one considered rural, one not. Plus a school in El Carmen de Vivoral, 
K-6, about an hour outside of Medellin--nice little rural town. As you 
know we emphasize computers, English, leadership.

We pay room and board; volunteers usually live with families. We pay a 
stipend and also help with transportation but cannot say we will fly 
someone in from anywhere in the world. Would prefer some classroom 
experience."/
