This shouldn't be a capital, and it should read "consulting with immigrants." If I've understood it correctly, that is.

Lose "Open Office." It will be assumed that anyone who can use MS Office will be able to use Open Office, but I've never seen a professional organisation that uses Open Office. And on that, lose MS Office, and simply leave the exact programs within MS Office that you know how to use. Certainly don't put MS Office and Excel and Powerpoint because they're part of the same thing. That's just a personal thing though, from hiring people who claim to know how to use MS Office because they've typed a few essays on Word, and yet have never even seen Access and don't know how to do a simple formula in Excel.

All good, but I would seperate the charity organising from the rest of it, and talk about it in a bit more detail, including the exact responsibilities you had in setting it up. That's something that would really boost your CV, so don't bury it in your personal interests section, give it a small paragraph to itself. I would put the travelling into a sentence by itself (I don't think brackets look very good on a CV), because it's something that would be a point of interest considering you're going for a job in another country.

My only other question would be what qualifications did you get at each of the schools and colleges you mention?

But it looks like a pretty impressive CV. Good luck.

Not a teacher.

In my first Universtiy I did not graduate because I changed my university after 3 semesters to study in Heidelberg and as mentioned right now I am in Heidelberg university, I will graduate in 3 Semesters with Bachelor of Arts.

so the organizing charity will be still under " Personal Interests" but I should explain it detailed. Did I get it right ?

[I'm With Stupid]

I'd keep it under "Personal," but "personal interests" in particular is more like your hobbies. So yes, just another paragraph in the same section.

You didn't consult immigrants. Instead, you gave them advice. You could also say you counseled them. Also, you might want to be a little bit more specific. (What kind of advice did you give immigrants? Legal advice?)
