Volunteer Travel South Africa

Day Care Project
Trip code: ZAF7

Working parents in South Africa who cannot afford care within the home or private daycare can leave their children from the ages of 2-5 in the public daycare system. There are hundreds of children currently in these projects which are managed by only a few caregivers. Rustic Volunteer Travel seeks volunteers who can provide these young active children by playing with them, giving them individual attention, and keeping them busy in a constructive manner. Volunteers usually enjoy spending time with the children Cape Town.

 
Project/Volunteer's Life:

As a volunteer in the public daycare project in Cape Town , you will be assisting the staff with the children, teaching English, playing games, and helping with projects. You may also do a little work around the daycare including cleaning or improvement projects if needed.

Project Locations:

Daycare projects are available in Cape Town (home to Table Mountain, Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, and City Bowl). South Africa's multicultural metropolitan cities are renowned for its deep rooted African cultural atmosphere where visitors are always welcomed. It's full of contrasts: from traditional culture and history to modern infrastructure and most of the amenities you would expect from a city. Volunteers can organize several combinations of potential excursions during and after the project to visit places of interest. There is a tourist infrastructure already in place that the volunteers can use during weekends. For example: national parks & harbors, hiking, markets, museums, restaurants, nightclubs, festivals/carnivals, wine tasting, art galleries, whale watching, beaches, hotels, and many more.
