Children's Safe House in the township
Highlights
- Devising fun daily activities which could be cooking, drama, arts and crafts or reading- the sky is the limit. Put on singing and drama shows with the children to keep them entertained and stimulated
- Encouraging the children with sports and games.... football is loved by boys and girls alike. Or how about a bit of netball? Skipping games are always fun too...although exhausting!
- Assist the home school teacher with educating a small group of the safe house children with one-on-one teaching following the South African school syllabus and help devise captivating lesson plans
- Occasionally the opportunity arises to take the kids on fun outings...forest walks, beach picnics with hotdogs for lunch or a trip to the local park to have fun on the swings
- Spend free days visiting local craft markets, game drives on Big 5 wildlife reserves, on the beach taking surfing lessons, or just enjoying eating a great meal at a restaurant on the water's edge
