The Marina Orth Foundation is a not for profit organization using the Step by Step model that emphasizes the following areas: learning to learn, training teachers, involving parents in the education of their children, and using computers. It can be easily replicated for primary and secondary school students, regardless of race, gender or economic situation, to prepare communities to compete global
ly and make a positive contribution to the world. We use foreign volunteers to help support our English teaching and leadership development programs. Most of our students have never interacted with someone who speaks English or whom is from a foreign country. This provides the opportunity for the students to extend their learning outside the classroom by connecting with volunteers through extracurricular activities and conversational English.
