Location: Khayelitsha, Cape Town, South Africa
Organization: Baphumelele Children's Home
Categories: Poverty/Hunger, HIV/AIDS, Education
Duration: July-December, varies
Cost: No info provided
Description: Baphumelele is an orphanage located in one of South Africa's largest townships. There are over 100 children of all ages living there. They are short of everything and need all the help, support, love and care that they can get!
Field Notes: I volunteered there while studying at the University of Cape Town. The volunteers who lived there were part of the AVIVA project. Baphumelele is challenging, heartbreaking and inspirational. I really recommend volunteering there: you can make a real, if small, difference and learn a lot.
