Curious minds, enthusiastic learners, young adolescents help each other acquire knowledge and new skills at the Canadian Friends of VAMOS! mobile learning centres. Lacking basic facilities such as libraries, computers and individual attention in their public schools, these students spend up to 12 hours a week with our teachers/tutors and laptop computers learning oral and written communication skills, researching and completing school projects, e-mailing international pen pals and publishing a community newspaper. They have a thirst for knowledge and a desire to work together to reach their potential in life and create a brighter future for all.
The students attending the sessions excel in their public schools and have become leaders and teaching assistents as they bring course material to their teachers and classmates.
We now have 300 students, 4 teachers/tutors, 5 community centres, 9 sessions per week and 24 computers, each with high speed internet access.
Your support makes it all possible - thank you.
