Teacher Assistant at Rural Farm School
- South Africa
- Cape Town
About Program
We are located near Malmesbury in the Western Cape of South Africa. We offer volunteer programs and accommodation. The main program is the assistance for teachers in multi-grade classrooms of rural schools including help with homework, as most parents are illiterate, and teaching sports, art and culture.
We are also in the process of opening a Youth and Women's Center. There are a few rural schools in need with too little teachers to be able to give enough attention to all the children. The children suffer due to that. We found children in higher grades that cannot read because there is just not enough people to give individual attention.
The volunteer house is a home away from home and you become part of the founding member's family. 3 Balanced meals are served with fresh fruit to snack on in between meals. We also off Wi-Fi, a swimming pool and aircon in your room for the hot summers.
