Volunteers

Here is a snapshot of a few volunteers who have worked at Alice project

Sarah, from Canada and Hydrabad, has been teaching English at the school for four years
...........................................................................................
Guiseppe and Christina have been twice to the school to teach us many things, but all through games, which are designed to indirectly teach the students about interconnectedness and dependence on one another.
...........................................................................................

Rachel, another regular returner, has been returning to Alice every winter to teach English and Footprints (Environmental studies). For the past 3 years she has been helping to co-ordinate the volunteers.

So if you'd like more information about volunteering please contact her: rachelkellett@rediffmail.com

Bryan Tucker has been coming to the school for 6 years, to teach both teachers and students vipassana meditation. For the teachers he organises retreats. For the students he works with the older children, guiding them with trust and supporting Valentinno's interest in how our mind works.

...........................................................................................

Maurice, from Netherlands, came in 2002 and taught English to Class 5 and computers to the keen staff and students. (The only photo I could find was at Awanishes wedding - Mau being gently guided by Awanishes father!)

...........................................................................................
JJ came in 2002 and revolutionised our art. He showed us how to make mandala's out of nature, and how to paint rose buds and draw cartoons. He ran a workshop for the staff, which they still talk about.
...........................................................................................
Idylia stayed at the school for some months months in 2003, running workshops with the students working with the women.
...........................................................................................
Pat came in 2002 and taught vipanssana meditation to the students and western philosophy to the teachers.

...........................................................................................

Lydia from Metifield, England, came in 2004 to teach the young students art - most famously masks and cress heads.
...........................................................................................
Marli (from Italy) has come two years (2002/3) running to teach at the Sarnath branch school. Through a generous collection at her daughters wedding, she raised some funds for the school, with which she brought some benches and tables, for the young students to sit and work at. She watched them being made with a hawk eye!  
...........................................................................................

Lucca from Italy came in 2002 to light up the Italian pizza over with fire! He taught the residential students how to make bread and pizza. (Lucca reluctant to be photographed so here are his trainees).

...........................................................................................

Lottie came in 2004 and spoke to Alice students about being a Sufi. With her good experience of teaching English as a foreign language she also ran a teaching workshop for the teachers.
