Mark, you’ve been working as a volunteer teacher in Africa for 8
months. Why did you decide to volunteer? Aren’t you worried that
it might be too late to start a career once you return to Britain?
When I told my family I wanted to work in Africa they were
worried, but I’m only 19. Many people my age take a gap year
and go travelling for a few months. It’s not that I want to quit
my studies, but I can finish them when I return. I know
someone who has spent the last 3 years in Vietnam and I even
thought of joining them there.
Why didn’t you?
Because I saw a film on TV about a woman who lived in Africa
during colonial times. It had some fantastic scenery in it. I think
it was that which started me thinking about Africa, but I didn’t
want to be just another tourist, I wanted to live there and see
what it’s really like.
You make it sound very easy, but it must be difficult to make the
decision and find the right place. How did you do it?
That’s where my uncle came in. He’s travelled round India and
China, worked in different countries, and for the last 6 years
has taught in a school for children with learning difficulties in
the US. With his help I got accepted by an organisation that
sends young people to work as English teachers in Africa.
Before you start working you have to pass an intensive training
session. One of the things you learn is how to treat snake bites!
But snakes are not the only danger in Africa. Have you had any
problems since you’ve been here?
I have had to spend two nights in hospital with really bad
stomach ache. The doctor told me to be more careful about
what I eat. I felt terrible and lost a lot of weight but since then
I have felt fine! And no snake bites so far!
I’m happy to hear it. Tell us something about your daily routine?
I have to get up at 6.00 because school starts at 8.00; once I’ve
got to the school I haven’t much time to think. That’s because
the groups are really big, 40-50 students in a class; it makes our
classes back home with 20 students seem like paradise! I’m
helping the regular teacher. I’ve started an ‘English Club’. I meet
students after classes and we talk about different things. It gives
me a chance to learn more about their lives.
What sort of things do they talk about?
One thing they all seem worried about is AIDS; many students
tell me that they don’t know enough about it. Others worry
that the attention Africa got during the World Cup will be lost
now when the competition is over, and that everybody will
forget about Africa once more. I think I can understand this
fear. Many young people feel that Africa hasn’t been given the
same chances as other developing areas in the world and if
you compare it to India or China, that’s certainly true.
Mark ,thank you for sharing your experiences with us, and good
luck with the rest of your time here.
