Teach English to primary school children when you volunteer with our Teaching and AIDS Orphans Program in Swaziland.

As a volunteer with our Teaching and AIDS Orphans Program, you will be working with local teachers and students in small-town schools in the small, picturesque country of Swaziland. A neighbor of South Africa, Swaziland boasts stunning natural beauty and rich culture, but also suffers from extreme poverty and social problems. Your volunteer efforts will be concentrated in and around the Ezulwini Valley, the cultural heart of Swaziland known as the “Valley of Heaven.”

Volunteers with our Teaching and AIDS Orphans Program will teach children English and help improve schools by working on projects to build new facilities and community gardens. You will work to create a positive learning environment for children who often have no role models or support systems outside of school.

In addition to classroom instruction, volunteers will have the chance to engage students in extracurricular activities such as sports or drama and crafts. You can also help teach children about agriculture using school gardens.

As a volunteer you will:
Teach children English, math and other relevant
    subjects
Organize extracurricular activities such as sports,
    plays and field trips
Help develop school gardens to teach children about     agriculture
Offer a hand on school construction projects to improve     facilities
