Volunteer Safari South Africa

Overview of the Project

Do you enjoy and have fun working with children? Would you also like to help maintain a better living situation for many of these children who live below poverty? Then this is the perfect opportunity for you! In this project you can help out around the disadvantage children in South Africa. To those in the west, an orphanage can seem a sad place, but for some South African children, an orphanage provides a refuge from the harsh conditions of the streets. It is a place where volunteers can watch the children laugh, learn, and grow.

Role of a Volunteer

Location: Cape Town
Project: Projects with orphaned and impoverished children
Arrival dates: 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month
Arrival and Departure: Cape Town International Airport
Language Need: Fluency in English
Room and Board: Host family and local food three times a day
Activities: Care for and teach English to disadvantage children
Work Hours: 25-35 hours per week

Volunteers in any of the above projects are involved in various activities such as reading stories, performing puppet shows, caring for and playing with the children. You will also be teaching basic conversational English and helping with homework. Volunteers support recreational and artistic activities with the objective of educational learning and, also have fun with the children organizing and developing sports activities. You will help in the kitchen to serve lunch in the dining room and also assist with location-specific duties: routine maintenance, construction, etc.

Skills/Qualifications Requirements

Volunteers do not require any special skills or qualifications because the project staff will provide all the necessary orientation and training to effectively carry out volunteer activities. However, volunteers should be passionate about caring for others and very understanding to the often adverse situations of these children

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.
