People and Places is part of an innovative and well-respected project that aims to provide children and young adults from rural areas with access to a world-class education through digital technology. In this age, across the developed world, digital technology is fast becoming one of the main tools for learning. But in rural Africa, with its overcrowded classrooms, lack of teachers, and few resources, this is an impossible dream. Our partner learning center aims to address this widening gap between the haves and have-nots by giving children and young adults in South Africa access to the digital world and the knowledge of how to navigate it. Whilst the project has local staff, it needs volunteers to help increase its efficiency and effectiveness in specific areas, and so would welcome expertise in the following areas: • Teaching or classroom support • Developing proficiency and confidence in English through conversation and reading • Digital technology, especially education-based programs, and apps • Hospitality, media, music, or conservation industries • Creative art activities for children • Preparation of imaginative resources • Teacher training
