Kindergarten program support - Mobile book and toy library + teacher training
About Program
Tuk Tuk for Children (TT4C) are a registered charity working in, Cambodia. Part of the role that they perform is enhancing educational opportunities for the local children. The kindergarten program has recently begun with support of a kind donation from the Rotary Club of Calgary Downtown in Canada.
Whilst this is adequate to build the program it does not and will not fully provide some of the expertise we need at the grass roots level. Hence we are seeking the assistance of volunteers who may feel inclined to support a worthy cause whilst at the same time experiencing aspects of a country in Sth East Asia not normally visible to tourists.
Whilst there are other programs that we are involved in the requirements for the kindergarten program are more specific. In saying that many volunteers support us across the board in a variety of roles.

Program Highlights
- Teaching qualifications or experience in childhood education especially in the pre school, kindergarten or primary years is preferred. This could include areas such as having worked in therapy or day care.
- Our needs in this program extend further to specifics surrounding the creation and use of storybooks. Therefore we would love to have authors, visual and performing artists and people with skills to translate books to the Khmer language.
- Whilst using books in a traditional sense is one of the major areas there are so many other ways this can be done...creating pictures, plays, songs, charts and so on. In this way we can spread the idea of reading as being a great teaching tool.
- We will also have tasks involving cataloguing, repairing books, organizing & assisting in book deliveries. At the kindergartens we will introduce books to both teachers and students though the goal is to encourage and assist the Khmer teachers to use them
- Your skills may permit you to train other volunteers as support for our kindergarten program.

Location
The biggest draw to Cambodia is typically Angkor Wat; however, this country has a lot more to offer. Cambodia is less touristed than its neighboring countries, and there are plenty of unspoiled areas to explore, such as Koh Thmei, Koh Ta Kiev and Koh Totang.
