Volunteers

From 1-1-2019 we decided to stop placing volunteers at our projects due to organisational problems.

Volunteers are very welcome at our projects. You can decide for yourself how long you want to stay and which project you want to work at. We have kept the costs of the volunteering low, and the costs will cover your stay, the transport from and to the airport by the reliabel company Lets Go Tours, transport to the projects and your  support of the great staff of Child Welfare Port Alfred.

You will stay at a B&B  in Port Alfred ( including breakfast ) or in a appartment in town ( selfsupporting). In Alexandria you will stay in a B&B, here you can add full board on your stay.

In Port Alfred we work together with Child Welfare and in Alexandria with Jennifer and Brent Dorr, who coordinates and leads the volunteering on the spot.

The Nemato Foundation Netherlands finds it important that our volunteering programs adds value to the projects and the individual lives of the children involved. Therefor we highly appreciate it when you ask yourself the question what can I add to the project?Think about a tooth brushing project, education about hygiene, sports, creative activities and so on.

To work at the preschools and the literature project, Ellen together with the volunteers who were present in February 2015, have attended a workshop organized by Renee Lighton Education from Cape town. The Nemato Foundation Netherlands has bought three books and a DVD so that the volunteers can prepare themselves for the volunteering.

In the weekends there is time to explore the beautiful surroundings and for example go on a safari in the Addo Elephant Park , Sibuya or Kariega Game Reserve (Malaria free). Through the collaboration with local partners we can organise some nice activities during your time off.
