Teachers for the Future

Dear Friends!

 Traveling through the world, especially to the countries of South America, Asia or Africa, admiring the beautiful nature and landscapes we meet people, especially, children living in extreme poverty, hopelessness and without prospects for a better, more dignified life. Seeing that, we happen to take out 5 or 10 dollars, to help them at least for a moment, to bring back a smile on their faces. At the same time, we realize that this one-time help will not change anything, it will not free them from poverty.

 My name is Jacek Nowakowski and I am the founder of the Educational Foundation New World and the Warsaw School of Applied Linguistics, a Polish specialist vocational university which since 1999 has educated over 1,300 specialists in language communication, including about 600 foreign language teachers.

 Implementing the project of helping a rural English school in Cambodia, located in a wooden crib, by providing them with textbooks and stationery for learning, I realized that a brick school, textbooks or even donated money will not teach these children English, they will not change the quality of their lives.

 To fulfill this task, volunteers are needed who would teach them English, which for most of these children will not only be a tool for communication but also a very valuable and perhaps the only tool of work they will have.

Moreover,  it raise their awareness and broaden  their horizons.

 Therefore, I turn to your warm hearts and invite you all to support the Teachers for the Future project, under which we will educate 500 certified English teachers on the graduate level who in the near future (2022) will start their educational mission in different corners of our globe, in which obtaining education today is difficult or impossible.

Within 4 years (2022 - 2024; 2026 - 2028) each teacher will conduct 6000 hours of English, a total of 3 million hours, educating over 100,000 new English speakers for whom it will become a working tool and an opportunity for a better, decent life.

 According to a saying: “If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. But if you give him a fishing rod, you feed him for a lifetime”, let’s give the needy the fishing rod and in the future they will not ask us for fish!

 Let's give Wings for the Future together!
