Take a gap year in Zambia for volunteer work with children and community volunteer work.
Volunteer in Zambia - Anyone who is serious about volunteer work with children or within the community should consider Zambia as a gap year destination. Zambia is aknowledged as one of the safest countries in Africa. Zambia's people live in peace and harmony making Zambia an excellent gap year destination.
Become a hero to young footballers. Coach youngsters from orphanages and schools and develop their talent, or just make them smile again. You can also help build and paint schools or get involved with an elephant project.
Give some much-needed assistance to medical staff. Help out at a hospital or clinic in the mornings, then dedicate your skills to playing with children, renovating schools or the Elephant Pepper Project (!) in the afternoons.
Keep young people off the streets with sports sessions. Coach football, netball, rounders or whatever you fancy – even the simplest drills will fire their enthusiasm! Get involved in successful conservation and construction projects, too.
Channel the enthusiasm of poor but extremely eager children into learning. Teach English, run after-school activities, organise sports lessons and give them a chance to make a success of their lives.
