Day Care Project

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.
