Volunteering for Bolivia?
More internet-connections to the universities in Bolivia and a national education programme for children under the age of twelve to ensure that they learn to write and read. If I could make suggestions to the policies of Bolivia today, these would be my first suggestions. I read on on of the statistical website linked yesterday that only about 3,7% of the population in Bolivia use the internet. The people who do use are mainly people living in the cities. In rural areas, it is a fact that there are not many accessible internet-connected computers and in addition to that not very many who can read or write their first language, nor the national language castilliano. Bilingual or trilingual teachers seems to be of high demand in these areas. What if someone wanted to go there to really try and do something about it? As a learning game I have searched the web for resources on education programmes for teachers. Here is one good source:
The World Wide Classroom for teachers on the go. The websites linked are aimed at students/future teachers in need of spanish courses, and others with an interest in studying different programmes or courses in Bolivia, both native students and people from abroad. Here is a sample from the previous website of educational resources, feel free and be a little Don Quijote! If volunteering is your kind of melody here is a site for you!
The headline-link to this post today is to the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland, the committée for evaluating Finland's relations with developing countries worldwide. Also a good place to start.
