TEACHERS ACROSS BORDERS
Why do all of us look to education as a bedrock of life, hope, and peace?
It is because education can inspire and create depth, meaning and purpose in our lives. With it we hope to find answers to the persistent issues of poverty, gender inequality, child trafficking, and lack of freedom and choices. We look to teachers as the fundamental building block in our pursuit of learning. This is where Teachers Across Borders, Inc. can make a difference.
Our teacher volunteers from the U.S., Sweden, Australia and other countries go to places like Cambodia, Myanmar and South Africa to help teachers who face enormous challenges including low pay, minimal facilities, class sizes of 75 or more, few materials and no teacher training. This is where we help out. Our aim is to model good teaching and to inspire, collaborate, support and value the work of our teacher colleagues. Through “Teachers Teaching Teachers” programs we share content and training ideas with fellow teachers. The collaboration inspires not just our trainees but our volunteers. For many it is a life changing experience. Helping one Cambodian teacher affects the education and lives of hundreds of children. You can help by becoming a teacher volunteer or donating money and time to our programs. The video below is an introduction to our work.
