SOUTH AFRICA: Streek kids Project - Social Work and Care with TRAVELLERS WORLDWIDE
|
The Xhosa name of the Centre means 'We have hope'. This project was set up to provide hope and help to troubled young people and their families, through building caring relationships and providing development opportunities. The centre is run as a day & drop-in centre. The attending children are collected at and returned to designated pick-up and drop-off points.
The Centre mainly targets young people at risk with particular emphasis on the needs of that person. Through fulltime and volunteer staff who seek to develop caring relationships, the Centre strives towards creating physical fitness, social competence, mental stability and spiritual maturity in young lives.
The 'balanced life' concept not only develops qualities of leadership, morality and citizenship, but also enables young people to effectively communicate in word and action. At the Centre, the basic needs of the children are met. They are washed, fed and clothed daily and the children participate in a variety of activities to give each child the opportunity to develop his/her own individual talents. These activities motivate the children to feel more positive about themselves and to be a constructive part of their community.
You will be working closely with the children at the centre helping out with anything from basic schooling such as helping them to read or write, to community projects and life skills lessons etc. The whole purpose of this is to get them ready to be taken back into the mainstream schooling and domestic home life again.
The programmes are all presented in a fun, experimental manner with an outcome based learning environment. The major focus is on Arithmetic, reading and writing. There are also hand craft and art programmes which are part of the weekly schedule, as well as sport coaching in soccer and cricket.

SOUTH AFRICA: Care in a Chpiildren's Hostal in Cape Town with TRAVELLERS WORLDWIDE
|
Some of the work at the hospital at times can be overwhelming as some of the children suffer from AIDS/HIV, which is even more reason why the children need love and attention. Your main tasks and responsibilities will be to visit the children, hand out toys, play and interact with them, and give them lots of comfort and love.
You may also asist with general non-medical support, e.g., accompanying a patient to another department, collecting folders and fetching food, etc, or assisting the pharmacy area or clinics where patients wait for their medication (which can often be for long periods of time) You may also assist in various out-patients departments as administrative support, or assist in the fund-raising shop where your duties would be to sort out and sell a range of donated goods, such as household equipment, clothing and books, that cannot be used in the wards.
Your hours may vary insofar as they will be subject to shift rotas. Therefore, you may sometimes work evenings or nights, sometimes over weekends, etc., but your time off on other days instead. During the morning you'll generally be in the toys room to pack your toy trolley. Your supervisor at the hospital will inform you which ward you'll be in for the day. They will also inform you of any wards that are out of bounds due to infection diseases. Once you have determined which ward you are going to, you will be able to stock your trolley with the appropriate toys.
You'll then join the ambulant patients in the play room where you'll distribute the toys. After that, you can give individualised attention to specific children. This is where volunteers are so valuable to both the Hospital and the patients - the personal care and attention. And you'll find that the children crave the attention and fun you can give them.
This session will usually last for most of the morning and afterwards you will be expected clear up and return the toys back to appropriate place. Sometimes the Hospital will hold concerts and events to entertain the children. Children love these performances and you will play an important role by escorting the young patients to these events.

SOUTH AFRICA: Elephant Conservation in Tembe Game Reserve with TRAVELLERS WORLDWIDE
|
A typical day would be getting up fairly early in the morning (around 5.00 a.m. to start about 6.00 a.m.) to go out into the field to do Lion monitoring. You'll usually return from Lion monitoring at around 10h30 and refresh, pack lunch and head out elephant monitoring. The best times to see elephants are during the hot midday times, especially at pans and hides. You'll probably return to camp mid or late afternoon.
After a siesta (or exercise) and afternoon tea/coffee, you'll input data onto the computers or generally update notes and pictures on what you've been doing and the information collected during the morning. Later, you may go out again to do additional monitoring; however, this depends on the movements of animals or other factors. Dinner is usually a social affair where ideas are shared and plans are made.
Your work could involve some or all of the following:
* Collecting information on the number and density of various species.
* Plant growth and phenology monitoring on a seasonal basis.
* Collecting dung of various species.
* Photographing elephants and identifying elephants from an existing identification kit. Photography is used to identify specific animals, which can then be monitored.
* Monitoring and recording the types of feeding done by elephants and/or lions.
* Generally assisting with elephant and lion monitoring.
* Rhino monitoring using motion sensor cameras.
* Butterfly monitoring involving setting and baiting the traps, collecting and photographing the butterflies, gps the locations and identification of the butterfly.
* Entering the data collected during each week into a computer. The accurate and complete processing of data is often one of the MOST VALUABLE contributions you make to a placement.

SOUTH AFRICA: Wildlife Rehabilitation in KwaZulu-Natal with TRAVELLERS WORLDWIDE
|
The Centre is situated KwaZulu-Natal. It is a wildlife hospital that cares for the injured and orphaned wild animals and birds and the only centre of its kind in the Province. As a charity organisation there are always more mouths to feed than hands to feed them, so every helping hand is greatly appreciated.
Volunteer duties and responsibilities are linked with level of experience so there is something for everyone, from feeds to assisting nurses in the clinic, to grounds work and the building of suitable enclosures, to assisting in rescues and releases.
There are approximately 300 - 400 animals under the centre's care at any given time, all of which are wildlife indigenous to Kwa Zulu Natal. Animals range from birds and mammals to raptors and reptiles, and many many monkeys. During the summer months (November to January) when monkeys give birth, many newborn baby monkeys are either abandoned or taken away from their mothers by ignorant humans who would like them as pets. When people realize they do not have the skills to care for these animals, they are dropped off at the centre. These baby monkeys require 24 hour care, regular feeding, cleaning and most importantly human contact.

SOUTH AFRICA: Teaching in Knysna on the Garden Route with TRAVELLERS WORLDWIDE
|
You will be based at one of the schools in the local townships working closely with some really enthusiastic and energised children who are eager to learn. Any skills you can offer to the schools will really benefit the children and will be greatly appreciated by all.
We currently work closely with both Primary Schools and Secondary Schools in the local area and you will have the chance to teach a range of different subjects from Conversational English to Design Technology, Sports or Music and Drama and many other subjects.
In the afternoons when you have finished school for the day you may also have the opportunity to help out with one of the many afternoon activities. For example volunteers in the past have spent their afternoons helping out at either a local orphanage or at the soup kitchen and art centre for children. Volunteers have really enjoyed spending time interacting with the kids and most importantly the kids love it too!!
