We're enjoying a bit of sunshine here in London, not sure how long it will last so we're making the most of it.
Our blog today is about a location that is fast becoming one of the most popular amongst gap year students and all volunteers, South Africa.
Gapforce run a few projects in the country so we thought we would give you some more details on them.
Sports Coaching South Africa
This is run by Sportforce and is ideal for people looking to advance their own skills as well as gaining experience coaching their favourite sport.
As well as the sport you will also play a vital role in the promotion of health and social awareness. Your duties will include organising matches, planning tournaments and giving motivational talks.
Medical & Community South Africa
This project is for anyone who is already or who might be looking to study medicine. The placement will give you the opportunity to make a positive difference in these underpriveledged areas as well as learning loads along the way. The project typically runs from Monday-Friday with community work invloved including visiting orphanages, townships and the famous Rasta people. Weekends are usually free to explore, enjoy some local activities or relax on the beach.
Great White Shark Conservation
This is a real gem of a project. Imagine working with local scientists to help protect the amazing Great White Shark?
You will primarily join cage diving operations to study these predators as well as undertaking research studies. Strictly monitored paying tourists are vital to help fund work in this area and thus you will have the opportunity to share your knowledge and help spread the word and correct the negative public perception of this primary predators.
