The Ministry of Education in Vanuatu (MOE) received a courtesy call from four of new Japanese volunteers who are supposed to work at each primary school or provincial education office as a mathematics teacher yesterday afternoon. After they arrived at the MOE, my director gave them "100math" T-shirt and encouraged them. They seemed to feel pleased.
By the way, I wanted to take a photo of them and my director to provide it to a newspaper with an article that the subtraction version daily "100math" lesson started at each school in five provinces. I could take it, but during lunchtime, I found that I had forgotten my camera's memory card, so I ran back home once. I had lunch, while sweating.
I don't know whether this picture and the article will be in the paper or not. However, I'm sure that if they are in it, it will be big encouragement for them.

Yesterday afternoon the Ministry of Education in Vanuatu (MOE) received a courtesy call from the four of new Japanese volunteers who are supposed to about to start work at each primary schools or and provincial education offices as a mathematics teachers yesterday afternoon.
This correction assumes there are four new volunteers total. If there are more than four, but only four of the volunteers paid a call, the sentence should read "four of the new Japanese volunteers."
as for "supposed to work" vs. "about to start work"... "supposed to" sounds like they are supposed to, but may not actuall do it. "about to" implies that they will definitely start soon. If they are already teaching, then you would want to say "who are teaching."
or, if you what you mean is "are assigned to work," then you can just say that!
After they arrived at the MOE, my director gave them "100math" T-shirts and encouraged them to do their best.
It sounds more natural to say "encouraged them to _____."
They seemed to feel pleased.
By the way, I wanted to take a photo of them the new teachers and my director to provide it to a newspaper with an article announcing that the subtraction version daily "100math" lesson has started at each schools in five provinces.
"At each school in five provinces" = at EVERY school. Is that what you mean? or do you mean at some schools scattered across five provinces?
I did take a photo could take it, but during lunchtime, I found that I had forgotten my camera's memory card, so I ran back home once.
What exactly do you mean by "ran back home once"? Do you mean "at once" (="right away" or "immediately")?
When I got back I had my lunch, while sweating from my run.
However, I'm sure that if they are in it, it will be big encouragement for them the new teachers.
