Saturday 26th April

Thanks to everyone who made the effort to come down last week, we has loads of students so the volunteers were very welcome!

I was particularly impressed with Kevin, who wandered in off the street to check out the Common Place for the first time and ended up staying to volunteer.

And amused by the student convinced that Golden Brown lives at 10 Downing Street. And by Jafar insisting that the lyrics of Yellow by Coldplay were actually an Iraqi song stolen and translated. He sang it, too.

With such recommmendations, any takers for this week?

Also, Conversation Club is tonight this week, 5-7.

Hope to see you all soon.

Volunteer Roles

This is to give you an idea of what the different volunteer roles involve (but these are by no means set in stone!)

Advanced class planner/teacher:

Intermediate class planner/teacher:

Beginners class planner/teacher:

Teaching assistants:

Key holder opening up: You need a key for the Common Place. You need to arrive by 12pm and unlock the front doors and the back fire exit. Maybe also be the one to make sure there is veg or go to the market if there isn't?

Key holder closing: Make sure all the washing up is done, that chairs and tables are arranged neatly, that all resources from the lesson are put away, that everything is switched off and there is no one left in the building. Then lock up. Often there might be another group using the building afterwards so just make sure they have a key to close after themselves etc.

Childcare volunteer: Take care of the kids, play games
with them or make sure they're happy on the computers. Try to keep them busy and not bothering their parents!
