Teaching English/Computer in Istanbul or Bursa

About Program
There is an urgent need to teach and practise English in the orphanage located in the Istanbul, Fatih or Nilfuer/Bursa. Due to the civil war happening in Syria, these orphans lost their dads and some both of their parents. Istanbul has been a shelter for them where some goes to school while others don’t. Teaching them English would be their chance for a better future wither to go abroad or work in future in the tourism industry “one of the biggest industries in Turkey”.
Volunteers are playing a vital sustainable role in the orphan’s lives. Volunteers work solo to teach or practice English communication with the children. These sessions is to improve the pronunciation and conversational skills of the orphans, we are not playing the “School” role here. Volunteers are welcome to bring in their own ideas to the table always.
Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here.
