Highlights

Weekdays: Arusha Volunteers' programs are flexible and can be fitted to your requirements, an example of a typical day is as follows.

* 7.30AM: Breakfast with the host family.

* 8.00AM: Volunteer leaves home and is dropped (or walks) to the project.

The volunteer joins with the local staff. You will be given a duty roster and a plan for your work. There is usually a tea break and a lunch break. Work and hours is dependent on the project and location that the volunteer is participating in.

* 2.00PM-5.00PM: Work at the project usually ends.

The volunteer at this point is free to visit and see places or do shopping. Usually we will have a guide to take you around. You may also want to hang out with the kids up to around 6.00PM.

* 8.30PM: Dinner with the host family.

* Weekends: During the weekend, volunteers have spare time and usually just relax or take the opportunity to explore other parts of their local town, Tanzania and Zanzibar. Long weekends can be taken to travel further a field (i.e. Kenya and Uganda) or to embark on a safari. If volunteers wish to volunteer over the weekends they can join local teams and visit other orphanages (or other children helping organizations) to spend time simply playing with and entertaining the children.
