The school jumped onto the fact that my sister and I were bilingual in French and English. They immediately set up an extra class that began 1/2 an hour before the school usually started to ensure the children learned some French.
Once we were done leading the French class, we would teach other classes such as Math and English. During their break time, we organize run sports and activities for them.
Sometimes I felt like us being there was allowing the teachers to be lazy because they would often just sit in the office doing nothing as we taught. When I go back, I plan on working in the orphanage schools as it seemed the volunteers who worked there found it much more rewarding as they found they were making a difference.
I still thoroughly enjoyed it though, and our work was worthwhile.
