*****UPDATE: – After 15 years of providing services in the community of El Porvenir, SKIP has decided to close it’s doors. This week as a result of a joint decision by the Director and Board of Directors, SKIP will close its programmes with immediate effect. This decision has not been taken lightly and the entire SKIP team and staff are saddened by the news
English Coordinator
SKIP is a charity working with disadvantaged families in an impoverished district of the city of Trujillo, Peru. Our holistic program focuses on the educational, economic, emotional and social development of each child and family. It is our aim to foster the capacity of children and families to be the principal agents of change in their own lives.
Education Department
There are over 300 children between the ages of four and eighteen years old currently enrolled in the education programme, which makes it the largest department in SKIP. We aim to maintain an exciting, stimulating and engaging learning environment. Our aim is not to replace the local education system, but rather supplement it. Following a curriculum designed especially for the children at SKIP, we provide classes in subjects such as reading comprehension, Math and Computing.
The English teaching programme:
Our English Programme consists of between five and ten volunteers. We conduct lessons in classes at the SKIP centre, and also in local public schools.
We take a dynamic approach to teaching the children; lessons are creative, activity-based and interactive. There are lots of games and songs to keep the children engaged so they can enjoy learning in a fun environment. The English team works together with the Peruvian public school teachers to implement these teaching practices in the classroom.
Accommodation and living expenses covered! Great charity, great opportunity
