Community Program
Community Program
Masikhule Childcare is a registered non-profit organization that realized the need for better quality care for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers in the townships and disadvantaged communities. They offer training in childcare skills to unemployed women, crèche workers and community workers in child development and stimulation.
Your volunteering time will be spent at Sikhutahle Day Care and Thabong Daily Care in Nomzamo, Strand. In 2006 Masikhule Childcare assisted 3 women to open these crèches. With some basic formal training and a staff of 5 helpers each, Muriel and Anastacia are taking care of about 150 kids, aged 7 months - 6 years. The children get 3 meals per day, which means not all the staff are assisting with the children as some have to perform kitchen duties. All kinds of volunteer support is needed. You could be an assistant teacher in the 4 - 6 year old group, or look after the babies if that is your preference.
The workday is from 9 am - 3pm, and you will work 5 days per week, from Monday to Friday.
ACCOMMODATON
This security complex, fully furnished beachfront apartment is on the 1st floor of a modern building in the beautiful Helderberg. The apartment also features a huge balcony with a built-in barbecue.
The Strand is 30 km from Cape Town International Airport and 50 km from central Cape Town. The Strand's beaches are known as some of the safest on the Peninsula. The main attraction is "the strand" - 5 km of beautiful white, sandy beach. It is a popular spot for surfing, kite surfing, windsurfing, swimming, sunbathing and walking.
The apartment is within walking distance of the CBD, as well as many restaurants. The train station is also within walking distance, but many reliable taxi operators are a phone call away - at reasonable rates
