Your work schedule will cover a comprehensive, varied and enjoyable teaching programme which will engage you fully with your pupils and will encourage your own creativity and initiative. You will benefit in terms of your personal experience by shadowing a teacher at the school, which will enable you to develop your teaching techniques.

You will be involved with activities such as marking your pupils work, and constructing an inspiring teaching strategy including preparing homework and assembling innovative and effective lesson plans. As well as this you will have the opportunity to help with lots of extracurricular activities which will vary according to your particular skills and interests – whether it is helping direct a play, organising a choir, or helping select a sports team. Whatever you decide, you are sure to gain huge satisfaction from inspiring these underprivileged children, whilst enhancing your personal skills and experience significantly.

After you have completed the teaching component of the project, the adventure will begin. As you travel you will encounter a variety of landscapes, terrains and ecosystems from luxuriant forests to expansive savannas plains. Your journey will be punctuated with activities and pursuits such as white water rafting down dramatic river-scapes, horseback riding along forest trails while encountering a wealth of wildlife, and taking part in a 3 day game drive in the Kruger National Park across epic plains where leopards lounge in the shade of trees and elephant herds crash across your path.

This project is remarkable as it encompasses essential community work, exciting adventures and exhilarating activities along with the opportunity to discover an amazing faraway land of incredible diversity and contrast.
