Hi there,

I am helping the coordination a tutoring program for children of Bhutanese refugees.

We have currently 14 volunteers tutoring/mentoring 18 children and are growing.

I came across your website and thought I should leave a comment.

We tutors could use help in the form of guidance, suggestions, etc.

Please check out our experiences/lessons-learned and stories at www.nayapaila.org.
