If you have done work internationally, where and in what capacity?

Volunteer in Thailand with Travel to Teach. Volunteer ESL Teacher for grades 1-6. Also spend evenings teaching ESL to the Monks of the community in Nong Khai.

Will be travelling this summer to Malawi, Africa to work with World Camp as a volunteer teacher. World Camp teaches HIV/AIDS awarness and prevention, gender equality, and environmental issues to rural school children around Malawi. Each volunteer works with the children and the native teachers to help implement and maintain World Camp curriculum (which has been tested and is considered to be more than an efficent eductional tool).

If you are willing to volunteer, in what area(s):

curriculum development, grant research/writing, internships, mentor teaching, organisational partnerships, researchers, TWB on Campus

How did you hear about us and a few words why you want to join EBB:

I initially heard about you through the network of teachers in my board (Ottawa Catholic School Board). I then looked up your website and this corresponding Canadian link to TWB.

I am highly interested in becoming an international teacher. I would like to share any skills and knowledge I may have as well as learn and part take in the skills and knowledge of other teachers in an effort to develop education around the world. Education can help bring about solutions to our global issues. The more humans connect across this globe the more ideas can be shared and soutions attained. I want to be part of that educational world; part of the solution.
