¡Greetings from Bolivia!
I am writing from the Unidad Académica Campesina-Carmen Pampa, a unique College located in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. I want to share an amazing teaching opportunity that I hope you can pass on to your current students and graduates (see below).
Mil gracias for helping us share this unique volunteer teaching experience with professionals from your program.
-------------------
The Unidad Académica
Campesina-Carmen Pampa (UAC-CP) is a unique college in rural Bolivia that
provides access to higher education and social service extension activities for
indigenous people living in one of the poorest areas of Latin America. The
UAC-CP, internationally recognized for its unique approach and ability
to address and dissipate root causes of poverty, is funded by the St.
Paul, Minnesota-based Carmen Pampa Fund (CPF).
CPF is currently accepting applications for teaching positions
in the College's English Program for
the 2016 academic year. Volunteer teachers (housing
is provided, but teachers are asked to contribute $75/month for food) help
implement a comprehensive, standardized English curriculum
using the American English File series from
Oxford University Press. The College also offers the opportunity for
teachers to be part of an international team of teachers working to design
program standards for testing and teacher instruction.
Deadline for applications for the first semester (February-June) is October 15. Deadline for application for the second semester (July-December) is May 15th.
