teach for...pakistan?

sorry! went all MIA. applications, filing what will hopefully be my first travel article, and a viciously tainted falafel (at what proved to be a really awesome wax tailor concert), have set me back a bit.

in the meantime! another south asia gig for those of you with some teaching experience (and possibly a death wish)....

Millions of children in Pakistan face the dual problem of educational inequity: limited access to schools and poor quality of schooling, and are thus denied access to educational opportunities that would enable them to improve their life prospects. Teach For Pakistan is a nationwide movement of outstanding graduates and young professionals who will commit two years to teach in under-resourced schools and go on to become life-long leaders working from all fields to expand educational opportunity. The Teach For Pakistan Fellowship is a two-year paid position during which Fellows are placed as full-time teachers in low income public and private schools in Karachi. The experience you will gain with us is compatible with the pursuit of a very broad range of personal and professional goals. Through this program you have the potential to transform the lives of hundreds of children and families, and shape the future of Pakistan. Join the Teach For Pakistan Fellowship to start the movement to end educational inequity. More information

  1. similar opportunity in a potentially less dangerous setting: Teach for India. Placements are in Mumbai and Pune (both of which have seen terrorist attacks in the last few years... maybe not much safer?). http://www.teachforindia.org/
