Need for Material Resources
In the long term we need to find ways to funds teachers’ salaries, rent and purchase of stationary supplies. We would also like to have computers and a printer at the school. If we get more desk computers then we will teach computer skills by the English language.
Need for Volunteers
I am going to improve this school, and I will to find like foreigner teacher and bigger classroom. If some one like to be our foreigner English teacher, then it will be improve our school, because many students like to study English with foreigner teacher, and also their parents have suggested that.
