We have secured an exclusive partnership with a new primary school in Imizamo Yethu! This is amazing news, as it has reopened several vacancies for our South African Destination for the Teaching Project!

The new school hosts 343 children from the townships around Hout Bay, where we operate. There are currently 10 teachers for all these children, and they are in desperate need of support from our volunteers so each child is able to get one-on-one attention in the classroom and the teachers can complete the curriculum that will enable each child to have a solid early childhood education.
Volunteers participating at this school will be given smaller groups of children to work with that need special attention, while the teacher carries out the primary curriculum to the children at the same level. This may include working on English (as many of the children primarily speak Xhosa, but are learning English as the main education language used in the classroom), and may also include Literacy and Numeracy.
The best news is, typically this project is closed in November as the children prepare for exams, but this new school would love the support of our volunteers during this month!
We are now accepting new applications for the remainder of 2019 to help us kick off this new partnership. If you want to make a HUGE difference in South Africa in 2019, let us know so we can start to place volunteers at this new opportunity!

Yes, first I thought I’m just going to help them but they ended up helping me. I learnt so many things about kids and teaching. I also learnt that you get a lot more back than what you expect because those children love you the way you are. I am very thankful for that.

With the welcoming and warm emails of Tjengisa, I was comfortable with the hospitality that was at All Out Africa Offices. However, I was overwhelmed by the spirit of the staff at All Out they treated me as if I was a diplomat or something. I was at their offices bright and early Wednesday Morning, coming in before some of the staff. As they came in I was greeted with a smile and hug by one of the interns Penny which removed any thoughts of worry in my head about how people would react to finding a stranger sitting in the reception area.

I then further was greeted by Eunice who clearly broke down exactly what All Out Africa did and what I would be doing today, which then sub-consciously persuaded me into participating in the homework club which was one of the highlights of the day. As the day started and we went to the NCP past Elangeni, my heart was filled when picking up the children to take them to the pre-school. Each and every one of their faces lit up when they saw the All Out Africa kombi stopping to let them in. I was then re-assured that I was going to a place, I was participating in something that brought joy to other people’s lives.

Within the pre-school I was pleasantly overwhelmed by the welcoming spirit of the children and the class teacher, I even ended up reading the story of the day, which filled my heart. I was also able to find put particularly for my research about the more logistical side of this heaven-sent organisation.

I then took a quick lunch break at Gables and headed back to the offices for homework club, on the ride there I sat in the front seat and Mr Tjengisa further debriefed me on the logistics of the Homework club and how they run it, giving me a context of where we were going and what we are doing, which really helps in mentally preparing myself. At the homework club, I was lucky to be given the most outspoken fun loving child of the group, Bongekile Matisa. She was able to show me the importance of homework club and the impact it has on the people of my country.

 

I would like to praise the work that All Out Africa does especially in my community and the welcoming spirit which they have. The team is honestly fantastic and I was overjoyed to know that there was such great service in my country. A highlight of my 2019, I look forward to working with you, volunteering or even helping in any way I can with All Out Africa.
