conservation based, immediately gain the opportunity to play their part in creating a real and long-lasting difference to South African society as a whole providing benefit now and well into the future. The Kariega Community Development Program is a prime example of this and a provider of ongoing proof of the genuine benefits that volunteering can bring!

The Kariega Community Volunteer Program finds its home in the beautiful seaside town of Kenton on Sea and surrounding villages – all home to a diverse and vibrant array of cultures and people. Our volunteer’s accommodation is just a stone’s throw from the ocean and beaches that will take your breath away – the perfect base for your South African community volunteering adventure.

To provide maximum benefit, the Kariega Community Program activiely works with all generations of the surrounding communities – from helping kids with early education at the Masibulele and Kamvilehle Preschools all the way through to housekeeping assistance for the elderly (or ‘gogos’ – the Xhosa word for a granny!) – this is truly a hugely engrossing program that has the proven potential to leave even the most shy and wary of volunteers with a real sense of empathy for the people they meet and a genuine ‘lump in the throat’ as a result.

On a day to day basis, volunteers may be involved in the following activities:

• Assisting with early education at the local Masibulele and Kamvilehle Preschools. Under the guidance of ‘Mrs Adams’, visitors will soon appreciate exactly why these programs are so popular within the local communities! With real affection for the children and a passion for education, volunteers often become swept away by the sheer enthusiasm on show even under testing conditions.
• Youth empowerment which involves coordination of fun activities for 13-17 year olds in leadership, business and strategy simulations – an integral aspect of the programs empowerment drive to provide the youth with the necessary tools to become self sufficient in later life.
• IT Literacy. Volunteers play an invaluable part in helping with the mobile computer lab providing education into basic computer literacy and windows navigation – essential skills development in todays modern world.
• Coastal Conservation. Hosted by the Sustainable Seas Trust (SST), a few Saturdays a month children from the local primary and secondary schools assist the SST in their work with ongoing research projects.
• Helping with the education of primary age children with basic literacy. Under the supervision of a permanent teacher at the local Ekuphumleni Public Library, volunteers join the ‘JOT’ program to work with illiterate kids forgotten by the education system giving them the skills to pass Grade 5 exams and beyond. There really is no greater sense of pride than hearing one of the kids spontaneously use English words and phrases you have taught to them!
• Homework support – assist the local education group providing help and encouragement to kids with homework and pen-pal correspondences whilst providing a safe environment for some of the most at risk and vulnerable children of the communities.
• Feeding Scheme Assistance – helping the famous (locally!) Cynthia in a whirlwind of bread buttering and soup making for local children at the Noluthando Soup Kitchen.
• Elderly Housekeeping which sees volunteers assisting Kenton Age-in-Action with looking after the frail.
