Context

The community economy is an important part of socio-economic development and a cornerstone of the community's livelihood. Education, in the community economy, plays an important role too. Only through the development of education we can promote the development of talents, which in turn will lead to the development of all aspects of education in the community. MDF with its multi-approaches in projects and research in contributing to the community development and SDGs, is conducting research on this. One of the relevant project is where MDF provides educational support for students in PNG by connecting them with experts and teachers from around the world, who are willing to contribute and dedicate their expertise as Online Volunteers, to teach the primary students and allow them learn virtually. To that end seeks the support of Online Volunteers to collaborate with MDF in virtual teaching for primary students in PNG. To get involved in this project candidates will be shortlisted and go through an online interview process for Early Childhood Development Education program. Once the selection is completed, the selected Online Volunteers will be added to our group for the online collaboration arrangement and distribution of tasks. It is expected that selected Online Volunteers to commit for 3 weeks and upon completion, MDF will provide feedback on the Online Volunteering Assignment to process the end-of-assignment certificate issued by UNV.
