Pros

Although the stipend is low you will receive money towards your education at the end of your service. It is also very rewarding

Cons

The stipend is really low so you have to learn to budget well and the hours are extremely long so it seems like you do way more work for how much you are compensated.

Pros

You do very meaningful work and the staff truly care about you and what you are doing.

Cons

School placements can be quite far from where you live, and the days are long (7:30 am - 5 pm). Often is exhausting, but you stay for the kids.
