Future projects

Projects in early 2011 -

April/May - Sierra Leone

April/May - Uganda

We are now receiving applications for our next volunteer program that will take place in late April and May next year, where we are heading back to Sierra Leone to develop further our 2 Children's Villages.
The project will see around 10 volunteers stay for around 1 month (times can be flexible) where our main goal is to build a secondary school in the remote village of Kamakwie. This will provide free higher education to our orphans and also provide low cost fees to hundreds of the regions poorest kids who currently drop out at the end of primary school due to the costs. We will also spend time on our Freetown project developing our new centre there.

Our work in Uganda is set to expand as a team head back to Kasese to create an extra room for the orphans we are helping as well as a kitchen and training centres.

Volunteers need to purchase their own flights and raise a minimum of $3000, 100% of which is spent on the costs of building the school. We will provide support in helping with getting the required funds together.

We are looking for committed volunteers who are passionate about helping children living in poverty. We also are looking for people who understand that help is required long after we get back from the project, so if you just want to put pictures on Facebook, volunteering with us is not for you! :-) We build the school as a team and make sure its runs long into the future as a team.

You'll be living in rural Africa, where life is very different and very hard, Each day you'll be helping to teach, play and care for the children as well as helping build the school. Its sweaty, fun stuff, and will be an experience you will never forget!
 
If you are interested please send an email to orphfund@gmail.com, providing some brief information about yourself and why you would like to be part of the next group to head overseas and help make a difference.

Our next project will take us to Haiti and is scheduled around September 2011.
