Very fulfilling
May 18, 2024by: ChristophProgram: South Africa - Teach, Surf and Skate in Cape TownI think what I will remember the most is the last day I had at the school I was working at because I bought lunch for the kids and it was very fulfilling to see something I did make them so happy. I also felt like that the connection between me and the kids was at it's peak on that day and I just had a lot of fun with the kids that day in general.
Great experience

Great experience
May 11, 2019by: Bianca ThirosProgram: South Africa - Teach, Surf and Skate in Cape TownThe most memorable part of my volunteer experience in Cape Town was definitely in the teaching, surf and skate project, when I was able to teach a young girl who had never been in the water before, how to swim.
