Teach Zanzibar

Start with the Kids.

As a volunteer, one of your most important responsibilities will be teaching Community Health Education in public schools, with a focus on HIV/AIDS prevention and awareness. The Zanzibar government has recognized the significant need to bridge the gap on HIV/AIDS prevention education and is pushing to get the island's youth educated in decreasing stigma of the disease and stopping the spread of the virus. American, British, and Tanzanian volunteers will work together in small teaching groups and each be assigned a primary or secondary classroom at a local public school. 

All OHS volunteers are trained to teach Community Health Information with an emphasis on HIV/AIDS prevention education. During in-field orientation, we provide an outline and strategies for teaching, but it will ultimately be up to the volunteers to decide how they want to organize their lesson plan to better engage different age groups.
