When I was a student I had a summer job in an expensive restaurant in Glasgow. One day we
were expecting forty members of a football team for lunch. I was given the job of peeling
potatoes. I thought I was managing quite well with my small knife until the owner appears to see
how I was getting on. She was amazed that I was using a knife and asked why I wasn't using the
potato peeler. I had no idea what a potato peeler was so she led me into a small room behind the
main kitchen. There, on the table, was a small machine like the rubbish bins some people have in
ừ the bathrooms. She explained as if to a small child that I had to put the potatoes in, close the lid
and press tìie button. When she came back ten minutes later I told her I thought it was quicker to
do it by hand. She asked what I meant. "Well, they aren't ready yet", I replied. You can imagine

The population of the world has increased more in modern times than in all other ages of
history combined. World population totaled about 500 million in 1650. It doubled in the period
from 1650 1680. By the year 2000, the population will be about 6.6 billion. Estimates based on
research by the United Nations indicate that it will double in the twentyfive years between 1975
and the year 2000.
No one knows the limits of the population that the earth can support. Thomas Malthus, an
English economist, developed a theory that became widely accepted in the nineteenth century.
He suggested that because world population tended to increase more rapidly than food supply,
we should continuously “constrain” available resources. Malthus cited wars, famines, epidemics
and other disasters as in the usual limitations of world population growth. With recent advances
in science and technology, including improved agricultural methods and great progresses and in
medicine, some of the limiting factors in population growth have been lessened, with obvious
results. International organizations have recommended programmes to encourage general
economic development that target areas along with a decrease in birth rates to effect a lasting
solution.

problem of overpopulation, including an increase in food production, general economic
development in target areas, and a decrease in birth rates. Most experts agree that it will be
necessary to combine all three recommendations in an effort to affect a lasting solution.

Teaching English, mathematics and other subjects in Ghana will inevitably increase employment opportunities, reduce illiteracy and ultimately assist local people to become economically independent. Teaching volunteers will work alongside local teachers to improve participatory teaching methods, classroom management, assessments and gender equality in the classroom. Volunteers will also help develop primary education projects focusing on earlychildhood development, literacy and health education. As a teaching volunteer, you may teach conversational English, mathematics, geography, science, social studies or supervise homework and provide individualized attention to students falling behind in class. Ghanaian students of all ages and backgrounds appreciate the opportunity to interact with fluent English speakers. You do not have to be a qualified or experienced teacher to join the project, and you are sure to receive a warm welcome from the local schools we work with who are eager to have our volunteers. Whether you want to volunteer abroad by teaching during your gap year, career break, or vacation you will have a role to play, and your efforts will make a lasting impact.
