Al Ahlia Khireea Girls School, Sharjah
On the 15th of January an English Live program began at the Al Ahlia Khireea Girls School, Sharjah (National Charity School) for grade 6, 7 and 8 students.
So far 9 weekly sessions have been held and the program will continue on throughout the school year. The principal and English teachers have told us the students really enjoy the classes which are helping them to gain confidence in their English speaking and creativity skills.
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.
