Job Placement

I got an email today from Cherokee Gives Back- Ethiopia Program with a description of where I will most likely be working.

Probable placement: Kechene School:
Kechene School is located in Kechene neighborhood, one of the poorest in Addis Ababa. All of the students attending Kechene are from destitute families and 36 of the 82 students are orphans. Luckily, the orphaned children are living with relatives in the local community. The school consists of grade levels KG-1, KG-2 and a 1st grade class.
Cherokee Volunteers assist in teaching and tutoring students, serving meals – breakfast and lunch are served daily, organizing games during recess, and helping with overall facility improvement – such as installing a water tank and plumbing for a shower, shelves for organizing the storage room and classrooms, installing trashcans, etc. Volunteers have personally raised funds to support these initiatives and also contributed to Kechene’s overall budget.

I am soooo excited!!
