| Volunteer Abroad in TEMBISA South Africa: Volunteering Opportunities Volunteer Abroad in TEMBISA South Africa: Our projects are primarily in the main town of Tembisa and its surrounding communities. You will colorful markets and commercial areas in the town center, while the surrounding areas are lush agriculture centers with banana plantations, acres of fruit farms, tobacco and maize lands. Our project is located about 35 minutes outside of Johannesburg. You will have orientation with our Project Director, learning about the programs, local culture, sightseeing tips etc. When the project is finished you will be provided transportation back to the city of Johannesburg.  With its pleasant year round climate and close proximity to Kruger National Park, volunteering in the Venda region is a great opportunity to explore real Africa, away from the hussle and bustle of the large metropolitan cities. With our volunteer programs we allow you to discover the wonders of South Africa, while doing meaningful and rewarding community work. This is a great opportunity to explore life in a beautiful African region, live and work amongst the locals and realize one person can make a difference. Child Care/Education Assistance Volunteers work in day care or in a children’s home in the community. As a volunteer, you can help by working with children ages 2-6, helping with general caretaking like handing out porridge and brushing teeth, teaching English, reading, writing and pronunciation. Simple math and counting, body hygiene, crafts and educational games for younger children may be available as well. Volunteers will be able to use this time to display their mentoring experience, and motivate the students toward a positive future. Prior experience not necessary, volunteers should have a lot of patience, an open mind and a sense of compassion.  Program Schedule: These programs runs year round, from 1 week to 8 weeks.
