provide a meal a day with vitamin & mineral supplements

to accommodate you for a shorter period. Please apply at
least three months in advance if possible as we get booked
up very quickly at all times of the year!

should ideally be aged between 30 and 60 - (exceptions can
of course be made for people aged over 60 who are in great
health and very willing - our kids like to have grand-dads
and grandma's!) and should have had at least some experience
working with children.

most Charitable Organisations on the Internet and beyond
- we do not charge astronomical fees for you to come and
volunteer with us. Please note you will have to fundraise
