Volunteer South Africa Included in the placement fee

This is the ideal travel opportunity for those who want no just to see the sights in Africa, but who also want

to have a worthwhile experience in African community development and to volunteer time and energy

whilst visiting the beautiful continent.

The major benefi ciaries of this programme are the people who receive help from you in the chosen project

and of course you, the traveller, will benefi t too, as you will gain an unforgettable life experience.

African community developmentWe have joined up with one of the most successful providers of

African volunteer projects in order to off er a wide variety of choice

and a highly professional programme.

There is the option of booking an English language course with

Good Hope Studies before starting the Volunteer programme. How-

ever a course is not compulsory. If you are able to converse fl uently

in everyday situations, you can go straight into the programme.

A number of projects are available in and around Cape Town, some

are available elsewhere in the country and one is even available in

Namibia.

There are limits on the number of volunteers each project can ac-

cept. For Cape Town-based projects, the start dates are any Monday,

arriving any Thursday.

All programs are available all year round – with the exception of

those that are only available outside of school holidays, or unless

otherwise stated in the detailed programme information.

AccommodationAccommodation during the volunteer project will be provided by

the volunteer organisation. The types of accommodation available

depend on the project chosen. In Cape Town, host families and a

volunteer house are available.

Host families

South African host families provide accommodation in their private

homes. The family could be a single person, a couple or a couple

with children. Volunteers stay in a single room, and breakfast and

dinner are provided. The bathroom is usually shared with the family.

Volunteer House

The Volunteer House is situated in the southern suburb of Observa-

tory. Volunteers are accommodated in a house with several double

rooms and two triple rooms. The bathrooms are shared with other

students. There is also an employee of the volunteer organisation

who stays at the volunteer house, and who provides breakfast and

dinner, and transfers volunteers to and from their projects.

The volunteer house has a pleasant atmosphere with a lounge and

a large open kitchen area.

Observatory is close to the University of Cape Town, and a large

number of university students stay in the area. Within walking dis-

tance, there are restaurants, pubs, shops and a MetroRail station.

Project descriptionsChildren & Youth ProjectsThe children of Africa are sometimes desperate. As a Volunteer, you can really make a difference. Sometimes all a child needs is love; at other times, their needs are altogether more complex. Africa’s children face some of the continent’s toughest challenges: There are soaring numbers of Aids orphans; an education, diet and social standing each present their own challenges. Volunteer projects with children can be some of the most reward-ing and most heart-warming of all volunteer experiences. You CAN make a difference.

Animal projects in Africa sometimes involve working with animals for the benefit of people; for instance heal-ing projects. If you love animals and want to volunteer to help animals, then become an African conservation volunteer!

in townships, enabling communities living way below the breadline

to care for their animals. You will help out with receiving animals

that come in from the townships, caring for the animals before and

after operations, with fund-raising and offi ce duties, and possibly

you could even hold an animal while it is being operated on. This

Project descriptions

What to do next1. How to fi nd a programmeSo you have chosen South Africa, the ideal place for volunteer

work. A place where you can help African children. Where you can

learn, work and travel Africa. What do you do now?

First take a look at the brief descriptions on pages four, fi ve and six.

Also, take a closer look at the price list.

Download the detailed project description from the one or two

projects you are most interested in. Here you will fi nd a more de-

tailed project description, including your involvement, the mini-

mum requirements, available dates and more.

Choose the one project that is best for you and decide on a starting

date and the duration.

2. EnrolmentYou will need to fi ll in the enrolment form and provide all the

necessary documents (CV/Resume, Police Clearance and all other

documents mentioned in the project introduction document). Only

then can your application be fully considered.

We will forward your documents to our partner, who will view your

application and supporting documents, and will approve your

application. Should they reject your application, they will not give

you reasons and the reasons may have been beyond their control.

But don’t let a rejection get you down. Simply apply for another

programme - and maybe you will be accepted.

Please remember that you must warrant that you have travel insur-

ance and must provide details of your cover to Good Hope Studies

before your departure, in writing by email.

Please allow suffi cient time for your enrolment process. Our volun-

teer partners are busy in the fi eld all day which is why they can be

slow in replying at times.

For direct bookings only

Once approved you have 7 days in which to pay a nonrefundable

deposit, failing which your registration for the programme will be

cancelled.

Then you must pay your full programme fee before the closing

date of the programme. Should the programme fee not be paid in

full before the closing date, we are afraid your registration for the

programme will be cancelled and you will lose your deposit.

3. Itinerary and DepartureAs soon as you have paid your programme deposit, you will receive

the full programme details. This is your itinerary, which will include

full contact details of the programme, airport pick-up details and

full details of your meals, accommodation, daily transfers etc.
