Goducate Seminar for Indonesian school teachers

A team from Goducate Indonesia, led by its Founder Paul Choo, conducted a seminar on teaching in Batam, Indonesia.

About 100 teachers from seven schools under an Indonesian educational NGO (in English called “New Sprouts”) attended the seminar on the Principles of Teaching.

“New Sprouts” is one of the educational NGO’s in Indonesia that send their students to Goducate’s English classes and to our monthly English camp (called CEI – Camping English International).

After the seminar, our Goducate Batam workers shared with the teachers how their students could benefit from our English and computer training.

Goducate Training Center development continues at frantic pace

The rainy season is fast approaching in the Philippines. Thankfully, most of the rain has fallen in other parts of the Philippines and has been rather light on our camp-site in Iloilo, Philippines.

As the roads leading to the camp-site will be muddy, work requiring heavy equipment must be done before the heavy rains come. Also, heavier building materials (eg. steel beams, concrete posts) must be brought on site before the roads become unpassable to heavy trucks.

We are doing our best not to damage the roads leading to the campsite as this will affect our neighbours, who are mostly poor rice farmers. If we want to help poor Asians help themselves, these are the first group of people that we should do our best to help.

We are planning a seminar for them to teach them how to increase their yields by growing hybrid rice. Learning to work with them will help our trainees to work with other poor farming communities in Asia.
