Volunteer Feedback from South Africa (Youth)

Rachael

"I worked at a children's home in Thohoyandou, S.A. for one week, then taught at Manamani secondary school for three weeks. Just do it, you won't be disappointed in any way, shape or form, and just have a completely open mind as to what you would like to experience/accomplish as these goals change weekly, even daily, as you are there."

Katharina

"All in all, I really love it here- the people are very hospitable and friendly. I am having a great time, I love playing with the kids and it's a great experience to live with a local family!"

Alexander

"Living a relatively privileged life has given me opportunities and experiences almost unparalleled. One of these opportunities, by definition, is to be in a position to aid those less fortunate than myself. Its seems too cliched to say that in cases such as this, duty amounts to obligation, but this combined with the adventure potential made it an experience not to be missed."

"My time in Venda, and as a teacher, has most certainly been an element in my development of global perspective. The resilience, good humour and willingness to learn -continued in children who have very little, certainly instils me with humility, admiration, and even a little awe."
