Class of 2012 Profile: Noorin Shivji


Today we're ecstatic to announce our last addition to BCF, Canadian teacher Noorin Shivji, who will be living in Punakha and teaching at Khuruthang MSS.

Born in Canada, raised in Kenya, and having taught in China, Pakistan and Northern Canada, Noorin has been able to explore various cultures and experience the uniquely human aspect that education has to offer. She believes that education takes place in each breath that an individual takes.

In her more recent adventures, Noorin has been involved in teaching and working in several Anishnaawbe communities, which has afforded her the opportunity to learn Indigenous skills and participate in activities beyond her imagination; ice fishing, rabbit snaring, and weathering -53 degree weather.

She is looking forward to teaching in Bhutan, which has a curriculum etched in preservation and progress, and cannot wait to share and learn in the nature and nurture of life’s synchronicities that global society has to offer!

In Bhutan, Noorin will be teaching at Khuruthang Middle Secondary School and living in Punakha. She looks forward to shopping at the Punakha market, biking on the valley’s trails and exploring other parts of the country.

Welcome Noorin!
