South Africa volunteer!

Ever since I began learning about different cultures and lives in third world countries traveling to Africa to help people has been something I have only dreamed of doing, I now have the opportunity to fulfill my greatest aspirations. This will be an incredible experience that I will never forget.

The volunteer work in the African program includes working with children in an orphanage teaching English and basic sanitation, hygiene and nutrition through games and activities. Our volunteers will also renovate and revitalise the sometimes run-down facilities with fresh coats of paint, new play equipment and the construction of bathrooms or kitchens.

In the second part of the trip I will be working with the national parks authority areas of conservation within the wetlands area in the observation, capture and release of crocodiles, the counting of crocodile eggs as well as feeding and cleaning the enclosures of the smaller crocs and alligators. And working with Cheetahs and Leopards in a rehabilitation, breeding and release program; preparing the food, feeding the cats and constructing new enclosures for the breeding pairs.
