Job description

The project combines rewarding volunteer work in a rural community with the chance to experience fun adventure activities in South Africa - perfect for a summer holiday or a starting point for further travels on your year out.

Your volunteering project could involve:

* Constructing, repairing or improving village schools, health facilities and buildings. Without your help and financial support such work would not be possible.
* Helping village children at home and at school.
* Teaching English, music, art, drama and more in local schools.
* Coaching or organising village sports.

Our volunteer projects are a great way to improve your skills and enhance your CV - stand out from the crowd at job interviews! It is a competitive market out there - help others to help yourself!?
