To achieve our goals in terms of education for the children and care for the orphaned animals, we need the help of volunteers.

You can join us for an experience of a life time, an internship, a Gap year, or just a holiday!

The volunteer period starts from Saturday and you can stay from one week to three months and even longer if you want. On arrival you will be shown your room and the facilities. On Sunday we have a late breakfast and a general briefing to help you in your confidence and ability to enjoy your experience.

During your stay, you will help us with:

Teaching basic subjects to children
6 underprivileged children are collected from their school on Monday and they stay with us at Daktari until Friday. A different group is collected each week.

The children are all aged between 13 and 15 years and are the grade 8 class. They are in a class of 160 children at the school and many of them have not even learnt their “times tables” yet. We try to enforce the basics in education and to adjust our teaching methods to the level of each child.

Our methods are not always conventional but are fun for the children. Many of them do not understand even basic English and their standards are at a very low level.

We welcome your diversity, knowledge and innovative ideas. No experience is necessary.


Other learning activities include:

* team building games
* “Thinking games” (eg. Card games)
* bead work incorporating mathematics and self expression
* general etiquette and good manners are enforced by role play
* General education including life skills, and construction projects.
