* What Will I Be Doing?

The community projects incorporate a number of different elements and you could be involved in any number of activities depending on what is needed when you arrive. However, one activity that is always in need of help is teaching and assisting in schools and orphanages. This is a fantastic opportunity to get close to the local children and make a real difference to their future prospects. It is also possible to gain your TEFL certificate with this teaching experience although please note that this is at an additional cost. Other possible projects may include building and construction work in the village, information and educational work focussing on food and nutrition, outreach activities aimed at improving basic sanitation awareness and maternal health workshops and childcare work in orphanages. You will be working closely with the project organisers who will give you a rare, behind the scenes, insight into the workings of a truly valuable and effective grass roots NGO.
