Project Volunteer

For the past 12 years I have given up two weeks of my working life to self funding and volunteer for the Project Volunteer charity, to live and work in 3 SOS Children's Orphanages in Botswana, Africa.

The main objective is to support the villages in the school holidays, by giving respite relief to the mothers and to teach the children new skills and games that they can replicate and continue when we have left, thus enabling sustainable play and learning.

Throughout the trip we interact with the children and mothers in order to pass on skills, whether it be sporting, academic, reading stories, cake baking, sewing, foreign languages, virtually anything.
