• Science and Math Teachers & Tutors Needed in northern Uganda

    Do you excel  in Physics, Math, Chemistry and/or Biology?  Can you explain one or several of these sciences to others?  If so, then we need you!

    We need you to teach students that were child soldiers, girls that were  sex slaves or those that were orphaned by the war waged by Joseph Kony’s Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA).  The first goal is to see that these youth can pass the National Examination so that they can build a future for themselves. Second goal is to ignite a passion for the sciences.

    Are you up for the challenge?

    If so, then please read NGOabroad website
