TEFL.COM and the DREAM ROOM

PAPERDREAMS is all about sharing dreams for a better world so when I asked the TEFL.com team if I could
include a post on their project support in Ethiopia, in particular, the DREAM ROOM FUND, I was very glad they said yes. Here is their warm New Year wish to teachers around the world:

Wishing you a very happy, peaceful and prosperous 2013

Veronica, David & the TEFL.com Team

This year TEFL.com is supporting English Alive Academy, a school for the poor in Nazareth, Ethiopia. Our sponsorship includes the cost of a teacher for a year as well as a contribution to the school's Dream Room Fund which will refurbish and equip an existing classroom, in desperate need of repair, into a 'dream room' for the class and its teacher.

In a country where 77.8 % of the population live below the poverty line, there is an enormous need for a high quality, subsidised education which enables all pupils to reach their own potential, regardless of ability. All of the pupils' families live on less than 2 dollars a day.

You can learn more about the school at www.englishaliveacademy.org.

Wishing the school great success and we hope the DREAM is fulfilled very soon.
