Build Our Schools - Volunteer Programme
Many of the schools in Knysna’s townships are in an extremely poor condition and this does not provide a safe or inviting place for children to learn - and as we all know, education is the key to developing underprivileged communities. Through this project
EDGE of AFRICA is able to make the schools in poorer areas look and feel like a better
place to learn.
Note: Volunteers on this project will not necessarily be building every day and may also be involved in EDGE of AFRICA’s Community Outreach Projects.
Specific qualifications are not required although this project would definitely benefit from people working in construction or architectural fields. This project
requires volunteers that enjoy being active and aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty! Volunteers need to be hard working, mature, motivated and able to
show initiative. Good health and physical fitness are also required. Volunteers also need to be confident in speaking English.
