    Om programmet

    This facility works towards the rescue and rehabilitation of animals in need, within a local community located 25mins outside Cape Town city centre. The residents of this community live in extreme poverty, well below the poverty line, and this has resulted in a huge problem with stray animals/pets in the area! Due to the tough economic and social situation in this area, these animals are often neglected and left to fend for themselves, often resulting in starvation and/or sickness.

    The Project
    Because of this ever-growing problem in the area, this animal rescue center was established. The center is a pro-life (everything is done to cure the animals instead of putting them down), non-profit organization that rescues, cares for, and sterilizes stray dogs and cats, with the hope of eventually finding new loving homes for them. Due to financial constraints, the center is only able to employ a handful of staff - they are therefore heavily dependent on volunteer help and donations.

    Requirements
    The project requires Volunteers to have a Rabies and Tetanus vaccinations (valid Certificate) just to protect volunteers against possible infections when dealing with new dogs that have just come off the street,

    Dress Code
    All volunteers need to adhere to the dress code that is in place for local staff: 
    - Long pants: this helps avoid scratches from the dogs and/or wire fences, enclosures, etc.
    - Black, Navy Blue or White t-shirt (we also encourage volunteers to buy a branded t-shirt from the animal shelter, to wear at fundraising/awareness events and adoption days).
    - Closed shoes that you don't mind getting dirty (the fields can get muddy after light rain)
    This dress code ensures that volunteers look professional, and part of the local staff team.  

    Typisk dag

    Volunteers here typically start their day at 08:00 and will generally finish at the center around 15:00 (Monday - Friday). 

    They will contribute in a very hands-on way and duties include:

    Fritidsaktiviteter

    Cape Town is one of Africa’s most popular tourist destinations for a reason. Its beaches, such as Camp’s Bay, are world renown, and Cape Town’s beachfront and downtown areas are lively at any time. During the day it is easy to find artisans selling their crafts or outdoor cafes to enjoy the Mediterranean climate. At night, there are many excellent bars, clubs and restaurants where locals and foreigners can relax and socialize.

    There are numerous cultural sites to visit, including the Bo-Kaap neighborhood and the Castle of Good Hope. They reflect Cape Town’s long history and help explain why the city is one of the most multicultural in the word. Robben Island, the infamous prison where political prisoners, including Nelson Mandela, were held during apartheid is a difficult but necessary stop. 

    For outdoor lovers, Cape Town has a wide mix of opportunities. Table Mountain is a breathtaking spot to visit, and there are many nearby hills, mountains and trails that make for great biking, climbing and hiking. Many, like Lion’s Head Mountain, also offer stunning views over the city and ocean below. Join in on tours down the Garden Route and a Game Drive to spot the Big 5!
