Volunteers will help with feeding, shopping, outings, companionship, stimulation programs or teaching residents any skills, like dancing or a sport. This program is very flexible. Volunteers can work as much or little as they want.
Projects with children and babies

A non-profit organization for abused, aban- doned, neglected and HIV Babies. Volunteers care, feed and look after the children. A minimum of 8 weeks is required for this program with set shifts of up to 5 days a week.
- TLC
A non-profit organization that goes into the townships and feeds and clothes homeless children. Volunteers will help with feeding, educating and playing with the children and are welcome to run their own education programs in the township. People with skills are welcome to teach those less privileged. This program is very flexible. Volunteers will have to stipulate how many days a week they would like to work and what their skills are before they arrive so a program can be custom designed.
