Local community volunteering focuses on working in a primary school in an underprivileged community. You will be working together with teachers in the classroom during school hours, helping out with everyday classroom activities. After the school day we run an after school club, where you can enjoy spending time with the children by playing games and creating your own educational activities to engage the children and create a fun safe environment for them. During school holidays you will assist in running programmes for vulnerable children as well as hosting special events for the local community.

We also support the school and community by fulfilling other needs it might have. For example, you could assist in painting, cleaning, building, maintaining vegetable gardens etc. You can also assist in the training sessions of our football team (The Hluhluwe Stars) and any other areas with which they need help.

We provide a unique experience to volunteers by combining volunteering with many exciting activities which are included in the cost to help make it easy to budget for the trip with no unexpected costs.
