I'm currently living in Johannesburg and would like to undertake some volunteer work.?

Question

Having trouble locating good websites that relate to this. Can anyone assist?

Answer 1

1. You can discount the yankee wankie answer (above) - what you need is a South African website.

2. You need the National Volunteer Centre, a non-governmental organisation, located in Cape Town, which recruits volunteers in any age group, for positions throughout the Republic of South Africa. The Centre has five full time staff and offers a comprehensive range of services to organisations and individual volunteers. This is what it does:
• recruits volunteers from all walks of life and matches their skills and interests with those of more than 300 non-profit organisations;
• trains volunteers and volunteer managers, to work effectively together and
• celebrates volunteering with an annual event during to recognise the efforts of volunteers.

We do community service locally, nationally and internationally. There is a club for you in Northcliff I come from Kempton Park, originally worked at the Arwyp Medical centre in ICU.. but now in London UK, and the President of my local club.
