Volunteer at a Digital Learning Centre in South Africa with People and Places
- South Africa
About Program
Join People and Places as a volunteer at Hazyview Digital Learning Centre (HDLC). This program supports an innovative initiative to bring world class education through digital technology to children and young adults in rural South Africa.
We live in a digital age. In schools in the developed world it is the main tool for learning but in rural African schools such technology is an impossible dream. How can overcrowded, under-resourced schools be expected to maintain expensive media centres with the latest software and apps let alone have the digital expertise to make full use of them? So rural students are left behind because they cannot navigate the digital world and the gap between the haves and the have-nots becomes wider and wider. The learning centres were set up to address this problem.

Location
South Africa is often thought of as resoundingly unstable and poor; however, this is far from the case. The duality in South Africa encompasses big cities with a well-developed infrastructure, as well as rural areas that are underdeveloped and impoverished. South Africa is well known for having 11 recognized languages, beautiful landscapes, world-class universities, and an abundance of animals.
