My work at my placement was great, everyone treated me with the utmost respect and I couldn't have asked for better people and kids to work with. My work consisted of teaching children from age 10-12 about mathematics, English, and science. The part that I will always remember is of course the children that I worked with. All of them took me in like one of their own and worked with me as well as they could to make my time in Tanzania the best I could have ever had.

Thanks for the informative article! Parents nowdays are opting for international schools in bangalore that provides boarding options along with an all-round education system.
