What you will be doing?
You will be taken to your project where you will
be working with your own group of children. The days begin with
opening the school and getting everything ready for the kids that
you are going to work with. The days are normal
days, which means that you have to keep a close eye on the children
en take care of them during the day. The days end at 16h00 en after

Safety
Most schools in South Africa are safe. The building is often
surrounded by a boundary fence that keeps the children from going out and
keeps others from coming in. If the school is situated in a
township, you probably don’t have to worry about crime, because the
one place that you are safe is a school. But always keep your
attention to the surroundings and the locals.
