Project Review

Volunteers will support the activities of an organisation called 'Save our Souls'(SOS), a Non-Governmental Organization that provides care for over 450 orphaned, destitute, and abandoned children in two villages(one in Gaborone and one in Francistown). Their aim is to develop these children into responsible and independent adults who will have inner strength to cope with the challenges of the future. The volunteers will assist in the daily education of the kids, gardening, sports coaching & mentoring and general counseling of the kids. Moreover, volunteers can assist the centre on some renovation work that arises and maintain kids` library. Spare time is usually meant for interaction with kids on their music practice sessions.
