Working
with the Children of J-Bay
Are you looking
for an opportunity to make a difference in Africa? Are
you a self-motivated worker with a heart for kids age
6-18? Then volunteer to help The Joshua Project brighten
the lives of J-Bay's underpriviledged children.
Why
Volunteer in Jeffreys Bay? |
Make
a real difference!
Your volunteering will help bring happiness, self-respect
and joy to the children in the program, something
which many of us take for granted, yet something
these amazing kids are really in need of. The Eastern
Cape is the poorest region of South Africa, and
help from overseas is vital to uplift its people.
All money goes DIRECTLY to the project!
Ubuntu Volunteers is a different kind of volunteer
program. Firstly, it is a fraction of the cost of
many other volunteer initiatives, with 50%
of money from volunteers going directly to assist
the Joshua Project in bettering
its program. Money could be used to buy art materials,
sports equipment, help with the food kitchen etc.
You as the volunteer will be able to have a say
where your contribution is used. This is unique
to Ubuntu Volunteers, as we take ZERO commission
for facilitating the program..
Lots of Free Time!
Its not all work and no play! You will be expected
to work 5 hrs a day, 5 days a week. The rest of
the time is free for you to surf the world-famous
waves, play with lions at the nearby sanctuary,
take in the town, relax or do whatever you like!
Its about having a good time in a new country, and
making a difference.
Fun Excursions!
The Ubuntu staff arrange a fun trip every weekend
to take in the many interesting places in our area.
Lion Cub Sanctuary, Walking with Elephants, Sand-boarding,
Surf Lessons, Bungy Jumping and much more!
Meet interesting people at Ubuntu!
Your accommodation during your trip will be at Ubuntu
Lodge, where you will get to meet other cool
people travelling through J-Bay.
