Full Description

Description

The South African Education and Environment Project (SAEP) needs volunteers to work in its Early Childhood Development Programme. SAEP supports ten Early Childhood Development (ECD) centres in Philippi, an impoverished township just outside of central Cape Town.

We need volunteers to teach children, especially those in the 4-6 age range who need to be ready to enter primary school; to run fun, interactive workshops and learning activities for the children; to train staff in teaching, management, financial management, computer skills, hygiene, cooking and nutrition, first aid and HIV/Aids; to paint and repair existing facilities and build new ones; and to contribute to fundraising efforts. We also need volunteers who are trained social workers and psychologists to work with the children and ECD centre principals and teachers.

This opportunity can be tailored to be full-time or part-time, depending on the volunteers' skills and needs.

 
Cost Details
SAEP does not charge volunteers who commit 6-12 months to the program. Living costs are variable, depending on the lifestyle of the volunteer; feel free to contact us for more information. If a volunteer would like to commit less than 6 months, a $1000 cost per volunteer is levied by SAEP. This covers volunteer orientation, transport to our programmes, and any other materials used by SAEP to accommodate the volunteer.
