Ideal for travellers looking to make a difference within the community through sports and activities. The project involves teaching children how to swim, surf and kite surf as well as other activities, perfect for travellers looking to be outdoors all the time. Help educate and assist children in sports, enabling them to experience something new and learn life skills. Learn to work alongside fellow travellers and make lifelong friends on the way! Most importantly, experience the South African way of life and culture as well as making a real difference to otherwise underprivileged children' life.
Volunteers work 3-5 days a week between 8am and 2pm.
Volunteers will be staying in one of our volunteer houses with bedrooms sleeping 2–5 people. All houses are facilitated with electricity, WIFI, hot water, a kitchen, communal bathrooms (with shower & toilets), beds with linen and a pillow (no towels). Male and female volunteers will share rooms unless otherwise requested. Upgrades to private single or double rooms are available at an extra cost.
Volunteers are responsible for keeping their own room and volunteer house tidy. Bathrooms are cleaned every day by cleaning staff, and linen is changed once a week. The volunteer houses are walking distance from shops, restaurants, entertainment, bus stops, and the beach.

The organisation is non-profitable and always ensures that all funding goes directly into the projects.
