PRIMOK - teaching English to Cañar's kids and youth
Ratings
Review
I am thoroughly enjoying the experience of living in Cañar and being part of the PRIMOK project. Cañar is a small indigenous community where I learn a LOT about what it's like to live on agriculture and selling products on the daily market; The cities Azogues and Cuenca, where I take dancing lessons and go out at night, are only a one-hour bus ride away. So I'm getting the best of both worlds!
Working for PRIMOK, I take on the role of an English teacher. Although I am not a qualified educator, PRIMOK appreciates me for my motivation to learn while teaching, my intuitive understanding of the kids' needs and my fluent English. My fellow teachers are volunteers from all around the globe whose age ranges from eighteen to sixty; The high diversity of our team results in enriching interpersonal exchange. What we all share: high motivation to improve the project! I highly recommend PRIMOK for curious volunteers with good English skills who enjoy working with kids and adolescents. Cañar may be your place to go if you are unafraid of experiencing a little culture shock, a mountain lover and/or a foodie: The Indígenas' affection is generally expressed through generosity in offering tons of delicious foods.
