Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing this to express my interest to participate as an active volunteer to serve in Tanzania next month.
As my semester is getting over by this month, I will spend most of my time free next month. Therefore, I decided to involve in any volunteering activity in any African country. Another reason why I am keen to do this is, it is one of my childhood ambitions to help the needy.
Since currently I study English Literature at the University of Glasgow with two years of prior experience in English teaching in Kent, UK, I would like to apply my skills in the form of free English lessons for young children in Tanzania, which is an underdeveloped country.
Moreover, I decided to provide English coaching in a primary school in the city centre in Dodoma. I would be grateful if you could arrange my trip that lasts for two months through your company, Cultural Expeditions, so that I can provide complete English training that is beneficial to the children.
I am looking forward to hear from you at your earliest convenience.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
Krrish
