Typical Duration of Program: 1-2 weeks
Dates: multiple start dates year round

Description: Do you want to work with children near South Africa's most colourful city?

South Africa has gone through a huge process of development in the last decade, putting the dark days of apartheid behind it and making strides in reducing social inequality. The scars inflicted by that period will take a while to heal though and problems continue to linger. This project operates a day care centre for mentally and physically handicapped children from a local South African township. The centre is run by a former i-to-i volunteer to the project, so say hi from us! Your job will be to offer sensory stimulation through a variety of activities such as game playing and arts and crafts as well as assisting staff in the general running of the centre. We'll provide you with all our normal support as well as our TEFL certification to make sure you are ready and raring to go.
