Our office opened several years ago here in Sofia, Bulgaria and from the onset we have worked with people from many cultures and varying backgrounds. Throughout this time we have met people with vastly different educational levels and discussed things that could be improved or helped. We have children ourselves in the schools and have seen trends and changes to the language programs due to the lack of fluent teaching professionals in our local school. With the economy and financial impact affecting the world today it is understandable that some of this trickles down to change some of the programs in schools.
Therefore after doing business in Bulgaria and assessing how we can give back to the community, Gannon & Gannon Language School decided to return the appreciation to the community by donating time and their English language skills to the schools in the form of assisting the children learning English and other contributions. By initiating the “Time 4 Tots” drive we hope that we can help teachers and students in our community.
The idea behind Time 4 Tots is simple, being a non-profit program, parents, businesses and other professionals living and working in Bulgaria to donate just a few hours a week when possible, to the elementary schools. There are many professional teachers but there are those that would welcome assistance in different subjects whether it is in a specialized language class or even assisting with before or after school programs.
