Early Childhood Development Centre | Cape Town

Program Description

This is a nursery school for children aged 1-5 years, located in the traditional fisherman’s village community of Hangberg. This community has been ravaged by drug and alcohol addiction and abuse and its children have suffered the results, such as physical abuse and neglect. Many of these children have parents who are addicted to alcohol, drugs or both.

The minimum duration for this project is 2 weeks. We can hand craft a package just for you if you wish. Stay 2 weeks, 3 weeks … we find the optimal duration is from 4 weeks upwards, but having said that, we will take all the help we get. All hands on deck!

Highlights

We believe that volunteering can make a real difference in the lives of people, plants and animals. By helping improve one person’s life, you’re positively influencing everyone and everything that person ever comes into contact with. When you think of it in this way, you have the potential to make a gigantic difference.

Qualifications

Applicants will need to submit a police clearance certificate.
