Action Care, in partnership with Petrofac, hosted two English Live programs
Action Care, in partnership with Petrofac, hosted two English Live programs for underprivileged children and youth from the Ajman-based Al Ihsan Charity Center.
The first program, English Live Beginners was attended by 22 youth, ages 13 – 17. The program focused on strengthening students’ foundational English conversation skills, introducing and practicing effective communication strategies, and boosting students’ personal confidence and motivation to study English. English Live instructors, Petrofac volunteers and teenaged students alike enjoyed the high-energy atmosphere, and instructors and volunteers watched the students grow in confidence and motivation as they explored English communication through role-plays, public-speaking exercises, story-writing and games.
Volunteering with [one of Action Care’s training programs] was a very unique experience. It was nice to see the shy but happy children opening up slowly to new things, games, people, language and crossing cultural barriers quickly.
