Magister South Africa offers a Social Work internship placement or volunteering opportunity at a children's village in Cape Town. Interns and volunteers will be assigned to a house and work alongside a house mother. They will assist the children in their daily lives and help coordinate their welfare and activities. These can include helping children with their morning schedule, doing after-school activities, and serving as a mentor and guide.
Participants who are still studying can also assist with tasks according to their study requirements. In a village, 8 to 10 children are cared for in small family-type homes and are raised like brothers and sisters. The village opened its doors to orphaned children in 1994 and is currently home to 141 children.
