 Role of a Volunteer
Volunteers will assist teachers and students in the learning process and some tasks include teaching the special education students and helping them with therapy. Aside from teaching volunteers may also help take care of all the disabled children and everything included in that. The seniors will also need the most help with their physical stimulation. Volunteers help stretch and walk with the seniors while monitoring progress and supervising activities. Skills/Qualifications Requirements
There are no special qualifications or skills necessary for this but volunteers should be highly patient and flexible for this project. The of the tasks involved with teaching or caring for the disabled are not always easy or fast, but they are also much more rewarding.
Room/Food/Supervision
Most of our volunteers live in a homestay with local host families and they are provided a private room and three meals. The family and volunteers share use of the bathroom and kitchen facilities and you might also have another volunteer living with you. This also provides a local support network beyond the volunteers and program staff. A lot of the volunteers consider their home stay a vital component of their South African experience.
