We’ve been teaching here in Sri Lanka for 5 months. We are currently working with the Intern team - last years students who have been recruited onto the Teacher Training Internship here. The programme further enhances students English skills but now the focus is on training them to become future teachers both within TLT schools or elsewhere Sri Lanka.

This is an unpaid internship and this poses a big challenge for their families. The Interns' families have already sacrificed a year of income for their children to study on the Main Diploma. Really they now need their children to provide a further income for the family. Another year of study means continued expenditure (bus fare, food, stationary, clothing) and no income.

The 14 interns selected are a talented, passionate and hardworking group of students. During their interviews and teaching tasks they showed huge potential as teachers and a great passion for the school and the role of an intern. Yet the financial challenges their families face may force them to leave the programme before completion.

SO
This month we plan to teapick to raise funds for these amazing students. The size of your donation, big or small doesn't matter- every £ will help these young people continue their studies.
Please give whatever you can.
