| Arts & Crafts |
If you wish to master ethnic indigenous arts and crafts, the ideal places for you to go to would be India, African countries, Japan, Mongolia, China, Sri Lanka, Mexico and Thailand among many. This would include hand woven fabric, jewelry and ornaments, pottery, metal work and woodwork, masks, hand woven baskets and other items, perfumes and dyes.
Now getting their products onto the international markets is lucrative for the artisans and craftsmen; in this context knowledge of English is an enormous advantage.
As a gap year volunteer you might want to utilize this opportunity step in to provide English lessons for the artisans and craftsmen to improve their vocabulary as well as their fluency. As an experience you could also choose to spend one day a week helping at the weekly open-air/street markets, which is frequented by English speaking tourists in the country. |
