Your Typical Itinerary
Please note that your itineraries may differ from this, depending on your own level of experience and the number of other volunteers on the placement at the same time. Please use this itinerary as an example only. Here is how a typical day in the life of a Zambia Teaching Volunteer might take shape:
06:30 Get up, eat breakfast and start getting ready for your project
07:30 Head off on the short drive to your project
08:00 Start work at your school. You will be assigned to one class for the duration of your placement. This gives you the opportunity to get to know each of the children in your class, and work with them and be able to measure their progress. If you wish to move around to different ages please speak to your volunteer co-ordinator.
12:00 Lunch break. You will be picked up from your project and taken to your volunteer house, where lunch is waiting for you.
13:45 Begin one of the community projects for the afternoon
16:30 You will be picked up from your project and taken home to evaluate the day and discuss the schedule for the next day. You can also go to town to check emails.
18:00 Dinner at your volunteer house. After dinner, volunteers often go for a few drinks at one of the local nightspots to relax.
