VACorps staff are your friends- not only guides!

I came to Cape Town as part of my university course requirements which stated that I had to work for a period of 3 months in my related field. Alongside my desire to leave my home country, after discovering the community, opportunities and support VACorps had to offer, I set my scopes on Cape Town. I loved the atmosphere of my work as they gave me a huge amount of responsibility that I would seldom get at home. In addition to this, the camaraderie I had with my colleagues was fantastic. A part of my experience that I will certainly look back on with fond memories will be the many many people from different cultures and backgrounds that I met during my time here. It certainly widens your scope and overall perspective of the world. I stayed for 3 months, however, found I could have possibly done another month or two following it.

The VACorps staff are an exceptional bunch of people. All of whom go above and beyond the call of duty for any person that requires it during their time in Cape Town. They are your friends as well as your guides and it really wouldn't be the same without each of them doing what they do!

Put yourself out there and ask to be involved in the various projects on offer. The amount you put in is what you get out.
