SOUTHERN AFRICA
Take a journey through Southern Africa and participate on projects in Swaziland and South Africa. Take part on an 8-week community project including sports coaching, teaching English, care work and construction. Help build small classrooms for new community centres dotted around the local community. The majority of children are under 6 years of age and come from extremely poor backgrounds, so the rewards of involvement with them is high. Placement includes an animal safari and Mozambique beach camp. This placement is a fascinating journey and involves a wonderfully varied series of projects.
