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 .
