The 2 Australian teachers who volunteered at Riverkids, Amelia and Jodie, came back to us after their short school holiday in Australia. They returned because they really love the kids and have been so encouraged by the kids’ ambition to study. They are now teaching Riverkids children English and Computer. They also led the slum kids to study and learn in a fun way. Besides teaching, they also painted the library and prepared useful volunteer resources.

Painted Clothes and Volunteer Resources

They also brought Riverkids’ children some clothes painted by their Australian students. At the end of their volunteering, they conducted a workshop sharing what they have been doing with their class in Australia and demonstrating how to teach and lead the kids in class.

Riverkids’ staff and the children would like to express our deep appreciation to Amelia and Jodie, and especially the Australian kids who gave the nice painting as presents to the slum children.
