About the project

Teaching at a Kindergarten – Victoria Falls

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Project in Brief: This project focuses on supporting Kindergarten education for children at a local rural school in Victoria Falls. Early Childhood Education is key to the promotion of cognitive, physical and social development of children in the first 1000 days of their lives. This project’s aim is to promote access to ECD services to children and promoting the education of ECD children through play.

💼 What the programme involves

Scope of work:
Volunteers in this project are engaged on a day to day basis with children in ECD as Teacher Assistants. Children in this grade are between the ages of 3 to 6 years of age. Volunteers have an opportunity to be innovative and initiate educational games for children as well as facilitating coloring and paintings. It is a project for those volunteers who wish to be immersed in visionary art work, painting and play (indoor or outdoor).
Working Schedule: Participants work around 8 hours a day from Monday to Friday. The lion’s share of our volunteer placements does not require volunteers to work on public holidays and weekends, unless highlighted or in the event of the need arising from the project

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accommodation is provided in a choice or either a host family or at the Volunteer House which is located approximately 4kms from the city centre. The house provides spacious air-conditioned rooms to refresh volunteers from the heat out while they are undertaking their community work. Bedrooms are equipped with single beds accommodating at least a minimum of two and a maximum of four people per room. Volunteers should be aware that the room set up changes frequently and can expect to use bunk beds. We take great note of space and the comfort which our volunteers require after hard work out in the field. Our lounge is equipped with a spacious lounge suit and entertainment in the form of television set with a wide variety of international news and entertainment channels. Internet facilities are provided free of charge for volunteers 24hrs a day. However, it should be noted that this may be regulated or restricted in some instances depending on the daily usage but would generally be available all the time.
At a host family, volunteers have the opportunity to immerse themselves into the real Zimbabwean culture and day to day life as they live in, eat and participate in host family activities. These host families are carefully selected based on a critical criterion to ensure basic comfort for our volunteers.

🍲 Food

Basic meals will be provided in the Center in the local community. Volunteers are therefore advised to be flexible and open minded. This will make it easy to negotiate entry in to the community as volunteers.

Areas of Specialization (Skills, Knowledge Requirements)

Expectations from Projects: Volunteer projects take place in very humble places around Zimbabwe. The bulk of our projects are not that difficult at all, what is only needed is flexibility, positive mentally attitude as well as openness to new culture, new experience. The secret remedy to, make the most of your time while volunteering in Zimbabwe is to adapt to the local environment. It important to highlight each and every project is unique. It is critical to mention that volunteers should make the most of their time with the community they serve, since this is a chance of a life time, to work and live with people in their respective communities, just like them.
