Rationale
Schoolchildren from the geo-social periphery are not generally exposed to after-school enrichment activities. This project aims at strengthening children’s English speaking skills, providing them with an enriching after-school activity, and enhancing their knowledge of English while they work in the garden, tending flowers and vegetables, together with native English speakers. The experience of working together in a group also helps improve social skills and builds their confidence to chat in English with the volunteers.
Objectives
Enriching children’s English language knowledge and skills
Improvingsocial skills through working in a group
Teaching the value of nurturing plant life
