No one is more passiont for helping teachers than teachers! It shows every time we take a group to Montego Bay, Jamaica to work at our three ministry locations, all of which have active schools. Usually in a team of 50 adults there is a teacher or two from the U.S. or Canada. They love joining a class and helping a teacher teach, even though for many of these teachers this represents a week away from the regular work of teaching back home. They are passionate.
This year two of those teachers had an idea: Why don't we return next fall (2009) with a team of teachers who could be substitutes for classes while giving Jamaica teachers a chance to attend seminars. Those seminars would provide tools for teachers to use in the classroom, share common victories and hurdles and walk away refreshed. There would be times of prayer for teacher, and the beginnings of cross cultural partnership.
Well the date is set and we are hoping for 25 teachers to join us in Montego Bay, Jamaica October 11-17, 2009. If you are a teacher, you have a passion to help others in your field and would like to travel off the beaten path....this is for you!
