UniBreak Students

The UniBreak Students program is a unique opportunity for tertiary students to see the world from the inside out by volunteering in a developing country at a grassroots community level. Placements generally take place in the university mid-year and Christmas holidays and students can choose to travel for 1-3 months duration. The placement can form part of your course study or be simply a break from it.

UniBreak Groups

The UniBreak Groups program provides university faculties the opportunity to tailor a group placement to meet faculty requirements. Antipodeans Abroad works in close partnership with universities and faculty staff during the planning and operation of group placement. UniBreak Group placements can assist university faculties to provide unique international internships, clinical placements, experiential learning and professional learning opportunities for their students in safe, structured and supportive environment.

Things are going fantastically here. Teaching is great. The kids had been learning some English prior to our arrival but the ability to sing the alphabet was all they had to show for it. However they are quickly making progress, which is great to see. In the afternoons we have been doing some construction and tree planting at the school. Monday is Indian Independence Day and the kids have been rehearsing for a concert for the village which we eagerly await!
