Volunteers may also teach beginning through intermediate English pronunciation and conversation in high school classrooms.
English is the language of instruction. The schools and organization are located in town and a few of them in rural areas. Environmental education and conservation is under formal government / international programs, but it works in conjuction with this private conservation initiative which is of critical importance.
