Volunteer Role
Choose to teach nursery, primary, or secondary level children, or a combination of these. The nursery schools, for example, usually finish by midday, so you may wish to spend the afternoon teaching academic subjects, or sports at one of the primary, or secondary schools close by. You can also get involved in a range of other community projects including HIV counselling.
Possibly the most important aspect of what you will be doing is giving these children a little of the love and attention that they so desperately crave and keeping them off the streets.
Many of the schools are seriously under-funded and therefore any materials, or equipment, for example books, teaching materials and sports equipment that you can take with you to help with lessons and activities are very welcome.
