Our Volunteers follow a structured weekly schedule of 18 hours, typically spread across 3–5 days. Activities are organized in rotating turns so that each volunteer experiences a balanced mix of roles while meeting community needs:
Morning turns often focus on teaching in local primary schools, sports coaching with school children, or outreach with community soccer clubs.
Afternoon turns may include arts sessions, music activities with women’s groups, social work support, or administrative tasks.
Documentation turns are assigned for photography and video coverage of key activities and events.
Rotation ensures variety, prevents overload, and allows volunteers to contribute across multiple areas according to skills and program priorities.
Schedules are confirmed weekly in coordination with host families and program coordinators to maintain flexibility while meeting the minimum commitment.
