Additional Information:
CTZ is also looking for four volunteer teachers of English
(professional or non-professional) for the students in Ukraine during
the two weeks of the camp. Teaching material will be provided and we also
encourage some self initiative in this. Some teachers may wish to work only one
week – this can be accommodated. There is a small subsidy for the volunteers of
English teaching to offset the costs at the camp.
Some individuals may already be going or are in Ukraine, please
consider joining us for several days, a week or the entire two weeks. Deadline
is April 1, 2008 to make the appropriate plans. If you are interested please
contact the Director of the camp – Prof. Roman Yereniuk at the above address,
phone or email.
Also some parents have requested
permission to attend and to come to Ukraine. Some also may be
interested in teaching English or spending some time travelling to visit
relatives. CTZ has no problem with parents joining the tour. Same costs will
apply to them as for the students unless they request single rooms or if they
want to tailor make their travels to Ukraine (we will fine tune the
costs). Tourist companies can do miracles if you are interested.
Thanks for your interest!!
