Surfing Volunteers Jeffreys Bay South Africa
.jpg)
Learn to surf in the perfect
world renowned Jeffreys Bay waves.
Join our Community Surf School in Jeffreys Bay to learn to surf
and help local children in a
worthwhile cause while having fun.
THE SURF SCHOOL:
Learn to Surf in Jeffreys Bay while helping the local community
children achieve a
sense of belonging by teaching disadvantaged children.The
local surf school is very professional ensuring absolute professionalism and competency - special boards
are used for complete beginners. Depending on surf conditions
lessons are run daily with plenty of time for free surfing. Monday
and Friday you will get to help with teaching local disadvantaged
township children to surf, volunteers are free to join these
children on the other days with surfing or hanging out with them.
The school has 2 permanently employed care givers
who are very dedicated but lack resources such as age specific
teaching aides. The volunteer will therefore be expected to
assist in a very creative manner making use of the most basic
equipment to fulfil the daily program objectives.
-
Presently there are 50 children to the 2 teachers
and this brings capacity problems in terms of human resources.
The volunteer will be of great help here in order to run smaller
classes based on age or special needs.
-
A primary help will be obtaining financial aid (Volunteer Fees) This will allow the teachers access to material (Photostats,
paper, books, crayons etc) to use in the classroom situation.
Another area is to create a project to teach the children how to
help themselves through the environment – growing vegetables to
eat, flowers to sell etc.
The
school receives no grants or funding of any sort from local or
national government (the school was built with foreign donations)–
infrastructure is therefore basic but functional, salaries low and
teacher aids minimal. A basic feeding program exists consisting of a
bowl of maze meal (porridge) and sugar.
