Information
If you
are an enthusiastic person wanting to give your time as
a volunteer whilst experiencing life in an exciting, cosmopolitan
and English speaking city, then Volunteer South Africa could
be ideal for you.
BUNAC's
Volunteer South Africa programme offers you the chance to
spend 8 weeks working as a volunteer on a community based
project in and around beautiful Cape Town. This is your
opportunity to experience life within this dynamic city
whilst helping to improve life for people living within
local townships.
The
type of project you are placed in depends on the skills
you have to offer at the time of your application. Typical
placements include helping in schools and churches, working
with disadvantaged youths, helping to develop tourism in
rural villages and helping within animal sanctuaries.
BUNAC
arranges your placement and group travel to Cape Town where
you will take part in a 1 week arrival orientation which
will enable you to get to know your group, and learn about
the practicalities of life in South Africa.
Once
you have completed your orientation you will start work
on placement. Accommodation is provided, typically in home
stays. After completion of your volunteer South Africa programme
you will have plenty of time to travel and explore in more
depth what this amazing country has to offer.
