From 29th December 2020 to 6th January 2021, SonTa Foundation implemented the final steps of the preparation stage for the project Free high-quality English course for people in difficult circumstances. We are grateful for the cooperation of our partners, from the professional non-profit organisations to our kind fellows.
We recruited two enthusiastic volunteers for the project. Thanks to our mentor, Keita, our first training session on 29th December 2020 was organised successfully that both volunteers found it helpful for them to develop their capacity not only for the project but also for their future career.
On 4th January 2021, Vietnam Foundation Secretary of SonTa received 104 books that include student books and workbooks with CDs and 20 boxes of CD from The Green Bamboo Center, a social project of Ho Chi Minh City Child Welfare Association. These are a high-quality source of books for our learners. This moment of our partnership generates the potency to cooperate in future when the free high-quality English course is standardized. We all look forward to the success of this project so that more people will receive benefit from it.
On 6th January 2021, the second training session was organized to review the entrance tests, the lesson plans and teaching skills of volunteers. Our volunteers received helpful comments and would utilise them to finalise the teaching materials. We also had a field trip to SOS Children's village in Go Vap district to discuss the rules, timetable of our first class and the situation of children in the village. This trip allowed us to check the learning condition to prepare better for our first activities.
Once again, we want to thank SOS Children's village for cooperating with us to organise our first class, we appreciate the support from The Green Bamboo Center and we respect the cooperation of our mentor and volunteers.
