Typical day
The volunteers are accommodated in a nice guesthouse and are working 7 hours daily from Monday to Friday.
Your working time starts at 8 am. You help us with organization tasks, marketing and sponsoring.
At the moment we are focusing on a beautiful documentary film about our projects. If you are good enough at editing films, you are welcome to help us with the documentary or you can edit short video clips of our project. In addition to this you use your video and photo skills to make Social Media posts, write blog articles for our website and to update donors. At 12 pm you have a 1-hour lunch break. You can eat something, go for a swim and relax in the sun.
Around 2 or 3 pm you go to the township Upliftment Projects.
Your main responsibility will be to do photos and videos during our projects, but there will also be some time to play with kids, do art, games and sports activities with them. A few times per week some of our volunteers can join our Surf lessons with the kids.
Around 5 pm you go back to your lovely accommodation and enjoy the amazing vibe together with other volunteers and project facilitators.
You will be staying at a riverfront accommodation with a great
vibe and fun activities like stand up paddling, windsurfing, fishing and
sailing on your doorstep. It has a lovely garden where you can relax, swim and
sunbath. The guesthouse/backpackers specialises mostly in animal
