Description
Volunteering in a daycare is quite similar to the teaching projects in the day. You’ll be helping the teachers conduct their lessons, helping with drawings, sports, games and pupil learning. However there is an added dimension- you’ll be assisting with the general care of the children in the Daycare. Duties such as cleaning the roooms and clothes and helping with the cooking of meals for the children, as well as playing with and entertaining them. It’s a fuller but more demanding role than that of school volunteering, as you will be building emotional bonds of care with the children and providing pastoral support. A typical Daycare in Tanzania is home to sixty children ranging in age from 2 to 7. A nursery school teaching program usually takes place during the day. Approximately 40 children in total will attend the nursery school. Volunteers in this teaching program help teachers to do their lessons, drawings, sports and games. Roles of Volunteers and Interns · Teach in one of our classes (we have four different classes at the moment) · Provide children with HIV / AIDS prevention education · Provide first aid/medical help to children · Teaching the children about basic house holdings: 1. Cleaning of utensils 2. Cooking 3. Sweeping · Bathing the children and wash their clothes · Play with children · Help us to create new ideas for the development of Daycare Accommodation HOME STAY ACCOMMODATION Living is basic but all the Home Stays have electricity and running water and accommodate volunteers in safe and secure homes (some rural home stays may not have electricity or running water during times of drought). All home stays have been inspected thoroughly by local staff and chosen because of their safety and security. Most volunteers love their home stays and feel that they get a more authentic Tanzanian experience by staying there. VOLUNTEER HOUSE The Volunteer House is a western-style house with 6 bedrooms (all shared accommodations with bunk beds). It has 2 bathrooms with western-style toilets and occasional hot water for showers. The house also includes one double bedroom, and this room is generally reserved for married couples. The house is safe and secure, with a security guard and a large gate. In the volunteer house, there is a cook who cooks the meals for the volunteers. (Please note that spaces in the volunteer house are very limited and can only accommodate 18 to 24 people). Food & Beverages Meals: You will be provided with 2 meals daily. Breakfasts generally consist of Chai (tea), toast, cereal, fruit and mandazzi (deep fried dough). Dinner usually sees traditional food such as ugali, chapatti, boga and irio accompany the meat and vegetables.
