Has anyone ever done a volunteer vacation?

Has anyone ever done any Volunteer work in South Africa?

  • I just saw this advert by one of Yahoo´s sponsors, and wonder whether any people have done this type of thing? http://www.crossculturalsolutions.org/where_you_can_go/south_africa/default.asp

  • Answer:

    Volunteering is unbelievably rewarding and meaningful work. When I first started volunteering I wondered of what use I could be in a country I didn't know much about. It became clear to me that volunteers are vital to Africa because the money is not there to pay wages to workers and consultants in the difficult areas. And the people are so grateful for whatever you can do for them. A practical good thing about volunteers from within Africa is that the adjustment to climate, etc. would be less difficult than for example people such as myself from northern hemisphere countries. I am glad to see the support you and your respondents are demonstrating for volunteer work. It is clear you love your country and want to do something to help the improvement continue. Charity begins at home.

I have seen that advert all over the net! My sister actually was a volunteer for 6 months in and around Cape Town. She said it was great helping out and it made her see things differently but it can be stressful. I'd love to volunteer over there for a few months working with animals.

Cakes my network is giving problems, cannot open the link. But in the past I did a lot of work with prostitutes and abused women and children, educating them about their rights, family violence interdicts, maintenance issues etc. Today it is just too dangerous for me to go into the locations like I used to go 4 years ago. I still do work for Childline.
