Who are the teachers?
One of the interesting things about this program is about the teachers who handle the reading class. Teachers for this are volunteers from different schools, and individuals. I invited them, asked them if they were willing to volunteer, and they responded. Some of them travel long distances just to join this advocacy program. My students are always motivated & excited to meet their reading teacher every Friday. Amazingly, through this program I realized that the spirit of volunteerism remains alive these days. People started to contact me on Facebook telling me they want to volunteer 1-3 Hour to teach our students.
How does it get funded?
Our school does not have fund for this program. When some of my friends learned about this advocacy program, some of them supported it voluntarily. One of them donated 1 printer for the printing of reading materials. Two of my students online from Croatia & Slovakia supported this program as well. My friends from US and Germany did either. Amazingly, through this program I realized that the spirit of volunteerism remains alive these days. People started to contact me on Facebook telling me they want to volunteer 1-3 Hour to teach our students. Out of love, people are willing to volunteer, willing to help to make my students’ better readers; and that changes their lives. And remember, when we change our students’ lives; we actually change the world.
