About the project

CHILDREN'S CAMP

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Most Schools in Tanzania have long vacation during the month of June where students stay home. During this time, kids are expected to join family members for extracurricular activities, educational tours and other studies outside class rooms. However, the experience has indicated that, most students do not have any structured activities that are fully involving them for personal and academic development. As a result, bad influence in the society during holiday time has affected the kids significantly, since they join different peer groups and are with limited supervision of their parents or guardians. This project is therefore aiming to fill the gap through effectively utilizing vacation time to allow student/kids to join structured activities that we will contribute to their growth as well allow parents to focus in productive economic activities.

💼 What the programme involves

We are expecting to work with 50-100 children from the community who are between 5-13 years old, mostly pre-school and primary school students. Volunteers tasks will include:

Games: Indoor and outdoor games that will stimulate learning, team building and activeness. Local games will be introduced as well foreign ones from the volunteers.
Gardening: Ornamental and vegetable planting, composting, garden tour etc.
Nature activities: Bird watching, planting trees, learning about various plants, birds, animals, worms and insects found in the area.
Academic development: Holidays home works, various competitions aiming to motivate childrens academic development and get ready for the new academic semester.

🏠 Accommodation on site
