Jan-May English Live at the National Charity Girls School in Sharjah
January 2013 – May 2013
A yearlong English Live course which began in January 2013 and will cumulate at the end of the year is being conducted at the National Charity Girls School in Sharjah for 175 students from grades six to eight.
English Live focuses on building confidence and fluency in speaking English, through interactive and enjoyable activities and exercises. The program sponsored by HSBC is very welcomed by the principal, teachers and students. This program will resume again after school holidays in September.
I must start by saying that I was very hesitant to participate and be a volunteer as I have never been involved in something like this. But doing so has totally changed my thinking. It opened my eyes to see that it was fun being surrounded by children who are so enthusiastic in wanting to learn so much more of not just a language but also interacting with us, all from totally different cultures and background. Yes, I am so glad that I did volunteer, even if I have not made a great impact on their lives, they definitely left me walking out that night with a smile on my face and sweet memories that I will carry with me for a long time. Thank you Action Care for giving me this opportunity.
