About
Teach Inn
The Teach Inn project was set up by Deirdre Bounds (founder of i-to-i), Seb Bishop, Dominic McVey and Tony Callaghan as part of a Channel 4 documentary to be broadcast in September 2007.
The simple aim of Teach Inn was to convert an old village school building into accommodation to house English teaching volunteers. The Teach Inn hotel will provide a base for international volunteers, but will also help fund future community development projects in the area, with all the profits made from volunteers staying in the hotel being ploughed back into community projects. Other projects set up by the entrepreneurs included a women’s support group, water wells and a crop store.
The Documentary
Working with World Vision and Channel 4, eight entrepreneurs bring blue-sky thinking to the challenges of the third world in a show that promises to be this autumn's must see TV. Viewers will see the characters spiral from aid workers to Big Brother style housemates and back again as they make tough and potentially life altering decisions.
