Help us help our BINHI Scholars learn how to read. Be a BINHI Buddy and let's help our kids complete their activity sheets.

About the Project

The BINHI Buddy Project is a one-on-one personalized tutoring method of learning where BINHI Scholars will be coached by a volunteer to help them overcome academic challenges. The project responds to the needs of the scholar by focusing on the subject where there is a difficulty. It aims to prepare the scholar for independent learning.

To address the need for learning remediation of BINHI Scholars during this time of the pandemic, the project will be implemented online using available free online platforms such as Google apps and Facebook.
