As of today I got appointed as a teacher. The first position is at the Martintar public primary school for just 2 weeks. It is a summer school. Then after the summer a private school "Namaka Methodist Kindergarten" located in Nadi, Fiji will be my next position. there I will work for 2 months.
The children at the kindergarten are Fijian, Hindus, Rotumans and others. My role is essentially an extra pair of hands and participate. Besides helping with the day-to-day management of the center I have the freedom to come up with lessons, games and activities. Think about basic English and mathematics lessons, art, music, drama and sport.
