I am really excited working about work with juveniles as it will help me to gain experience in the related field and succeed in the near future. I love being around youngsters, as they are innocent, imaginative and lovely. I have been teaching the little ones from
this
town through an NGO called ''educate the youths'' for 10 months. To add on, I'm really patient, and friendly and maintain a great relationship with them. I would like to enquire about the working days along with the documents required for
this
job. It would
also
be of great help if you tell me the number of working hours required. At
last
, I would like to share that I will not able to work until March, as I have already been teaching children through an NGO.
However
, from the 1st of April, I am available from Monday to Friday between 7.00 am to 3.00. P.m. Looking forward to hearing from you Yours faithfully, Akila
