Volunteering

I received a warm welcome at Orphans of Rwanda, and helped two students to create a cv and cover letter to apply for an internship at local companies.
Four students were scheduled.

Trying to pad out a cv for a school leaver who hadn't even begun their degree (physiotherapy) and write a cover letter applying for an advertising internship at a radio station was pretty taxing, especially when the whole concept of..cv, cover letter, internship - working hard without payment were all new...

I have also been busy today writing draft student evaluations. A great number of the students will be attending ORI sponsored Language and IT courses (starting Friday) and ORI had decided that they want the students to evaluate the courses...but there are no clear goals outlined (its a good idea...) so how can we evaluate if it successful?

Anyway it was good to exercise my 3 syllable braincells, and I'm looking forward to getting stuck in.
