This program plays a key role in improving the education of at-risk children from impoverished backgrounds, with many experiencing social and health issues.

The program far exceeded my expectations
by: Victoria LiuProgram: Education Program in South AfricaMy time in Cape Town was one of the most memorable and rewarding experiences in my life. The city itself is one of the most captivating cities in the world - naturally scenic, a multicultural cosmopolitan vibe, the compelling history, and friendly people. We were never with a shortage of things to do, whether it was hiking Table Mountain, Lion’s Head, learning about apartheid (District 6, Robben Island), visiting a township, or just a good old-fashioned braai. I love learning about new cultures ...

An amazing experience with the help of Love Volunteers
by: Julia JosephProgram: Education Program in South AfricaMy 6-month adventure in Cape Town, South Africa would not have been such an amazing experience without the help of the Love Volunteers and their local partners. Upon landing, after spending a day and a half in airports, there was someone there waiting to take me to the hostel. I was greeted by the hostel manager and a volunteer and was put at ease immediately by the fun atmosphere in the hostel. I am glad I spent the first portion of my stay in the hostel, because this gave me the opportunity to...

Truly changed the way I look at the world
by: Peter HjorthProgram: Education Program in South AfricaMy time in Cape Town was something I find difficult to put into words. It just seems impossible to compress my 5 weeks in South Africa into a mere paragraph or two. On a day to day basis, new and extraordinary experiences were waiting to change and shape me in ways I'd never anticipated. From befriending other volunteers in the volunteer House who were from all over the world, to working alongside the healthcare providers in the local clinic, to exploring the constant adventure that South Africa...
What a fantastic review! Thanks so much for taking the time to put into words how amazing your time in South Africa was :-)<br/><br/>Volunteers like yourself make such a difference to the communities in which they are placed - and then, as you say, ...
