dear Samira ,
thanks for showing interest to our organisation , i hope we can welcome you and work together this summer. bellow you can find the whole programe of the summer 2007, as you can see that the possible locations are Ouarzazat or Errachidia.
looking forwards to hearing from you soon ,
regards
Mounir Assos(president).

for the summer 2007 the following projects are available :

ASTVS 1 and 2: teaching French (ATSVS 1) and/or English (ATSVS 2) to youth and/ or adults.01-31 July 2007 location: Errachidia

Why this project?
However French is one of the official languages in Morocco, many people have little skills in the French language. Hence, ASTVS wants to offer people a French language course in the summer. English is taught in secondary schools, but the level is very low. Only a small minority of the Moroccan people does speak the language. Many people appear to have the desire to learn the language.

Method
Volunteers will have the responsibility over a small (maximal 15) group of students, who will be grouped according to their individual level. Volunteers are free to choose the method which suites them best. However, volunteers have to take into account that there are few materials available.ASTVS developed a manual with tips and advices regarding the methods volunteers can use in their course. Obviously, volunteers can always approach members of ASTVS with any kind of questions.

Accommodation
Volunteers can choose to stay in hostfamilies or to stay together in a school or a house or youth house. Staying in hostfamilies gives volunteers the opportunity to explore the Moroccan culture from the inside and to establish a friendly relationship with the Moroccan people.

Who can participate?
Everybody who has the minimum age of 18 years old, who has sufficient knowledge of the French or English language, who is strongly motivated and has a creative mind.

ASTVS 3: Organizing activities for children: 1 –21 July 2007 location: Errachidia

Why this project?
There are no facilities for children in Errachidia and its neighborhood. It is not the habit that children have toys and schools have no playgrounds or schoolyards. A lot of children are bored, hanging around, doing nothing. For these children ASTVS wants to organize activities in the summer to give them a nice holiday. ASTVS aims to attract especially children from poor families,

Method
The children will be grouped according to their age. Each volunteer will guide a group of children. Volunteers are free to design the program and choose activities according to their own whishes and the preferences of the children. Examples of activities are theater, dance, music, games and sports. Again, volunteers have to take into account that there are limited materials available. A manual is created with examples of activities which can be organised.

Accommodation
Volunteers will stay together in a school or youth house.

Who can participate?
Everybody with the minimum age of 18 years old and who is strongly motivated and creative.
