In Kenya, Canadian teachers have trained 3,600 teachers who in turn are now teaching 350,000 kids. The local programs also educate both teachers and students about HIV and AIDS in Kenya.
Teachers in Sierra Leone have said that without our good Canadian teachers the country will fail to meet its development goals.
These volunteer teachers help save lives, empower women and reduce poverty.
Once more, how can the Conservatives find $2 million for PMO press clippings, but find nothing for dedicated teachers abroad?
