My Travel Story

by: Mica Catley Start Date: Jan 2, 2024 - End Date: Feb 2, 2024
On the 3rd of February 2024, I will be flying off to Cape Town, South Africa. I will be volunteering via International Volunteering HQ as part of the Childcare Project.

Many South African children grow up with limited access to education, with only 17 out of every 100 children having the opportunity to attend some form of early childhood schooling. As a volunteer, I will be providing care and education to children (aged 2-6) from disadvantaged backgrounds. Some of these children have lost their parents to crime, alcohol or drug abuse, and HIV/AIDS, forcing them to live with their relatives or neighbours, who often do not have the means to take proper care of them.

I'm writing to ask you to support me in providing the necessary care, support and goods for the community and children I will be volunteering with. Your donation will go toward the centres for children with disabilities, local schools, orphanages, crèches, and nurseries. I will be able to have the incredible experience of volunteering in all of these places during my time in South Africa. Donations will also go towards purchasing sport equipment, basic necessities and clothing for the children. All purchases will be made in South Africa, giving back to the local community.
