Volunteer and Teach in South Africa

I feel I have gained a further understanding of different cultures and ways of living. It’s impacted me greatly and I’m so grateful I had the opportunity to work with not only the kids but the teachers as well, who do such an amazing job, day in day out for these kids. Seeing how happy and grateful these people are for the smallest of things makes you realise how lucky you are and to be grateful for everything you have. If someone is hesitant on joining the program I would say I cannot recommend it enough, the local staff are so supportive and friendly if you have any concerns when you arrive. It’s all so worth it when you get there and you always make friends for life.

Volunteering here was one of my top moments. It was so amazing to be welcomed by everyone with open arms and happiness. The local team was beyond amazing and helpful for ever situation. The other volunteers were amazing and so very respectful. The kitchen staff made the best food and was always making sure everyone ate and had the right food.

I have gained so much from the experience. I learned more about myself such as my strengths and weaknesses. I also learned about different cultures and got to be apart of a different culture. I also stepped outside of my comfort zone and pushed myself to do new things.
