The International Humanity Foundation (IHF) is seeking forward-thinking, dynamic graduates to contribute to our children’s home in Thailand. IHF has grown over the past 25 years under the visionary leadership of Carol Sasaki (CEO) and the dedication of thousands of volunteers from around the world.

IHF is distinct from other NGOs in this field as we practice the ‘Pass it on’... View Full Description ethos in marginalized regions. We offer the privilege of education to those who without our organization could not reach it. IHF has no central headquarters, as each center is a product of its environment and follows the cultural code and norms of its host country. IHF volunteers teach English, computer and math classes as well as maintaining relationships with local staff and the local population at every centre.
In addition to teaching, our organization’s volunteers engage in:•Public relations
•Fundraising
•Legal
•Finance
•Project experts (i.e., Peace farm and food relief initiatives)
•Media

At the centers, directors divide their time between teaching and nurturing the children and working on international tasks. All directors manage one or more of our international task teams such as university relations, photography, fundraising and media. Special projects constantly arise and include moving food during famine feeds to monitoring children during breaks. Our center directors have a lot of say in what they do and must possess excellent time management skills.

Those who are secure without the comforts of home gain the most from this valuable opportunity. Although we are mainly seeking those with the above expertise, IHF is willing to consider those with transferrable skills if you can demonstrate them during our application process. Fluency in English, both written and spoken is essential. Those interested in volunteering at an IHF centre are required to complete a level of pre-trip duties in order to gain an understanding of how grassroots organizations function.

Salary / Pay: IHF is a voluntary organization in the greatest sense of the term. Nobody is paid a wage from top to bottom. Directors must commit to serve at least a year at the center. Basic accommodation and food is provided by by IHF.

SSA to develop a Strategy for Teacher Development and Management for Dadaab

UN Children's Fund

Background:

During 2011 Somalia was severely affected by drought, and famine leading to mass migration towards and across the border to Kenya with an influx in refugees in Dadaab refugee camps. With the majority of refugees being young people or children, the education sector saw a drop in enrolment rate from approximately 60% to 30%. This resulted in partners agreeing on the importance of a long term strategy for improving of the education services and access to education for children and young people in the camps.

An Education Strategy for Dadaab was developed and finalized towards the end of 2011. 

This strategy emphasizes on the importance of continuous professional development of the teaching forces and training of teacher to improve the quality of education offered at ECD, primary and secondary education levels. UNICEF has agreed to fund the development of this teacher training sub-sector strategy as a component of the overall Education Strategy for Dadaab refugee camps.
