Continuation of the construction of a teacher’s house at Mnkanya community school in Mfuwe. Volunteers will perform an HIV and AIDS awareness project called the "Join In Circuit, Impact of HIV/AIDS on child education".
Study Theme:
HIV/AIDS: where are we?
Accommodation:
Volunteers will be accommodated in African huts and tents and classrooms.
Location:
Mfuwe is located in the South Luangwa National Park area in the East of Zambia. It is about 685 Km away from the capital city Lusaka and 100 Km from the provincial capital Chipata. It is located 25 km from the park main entrance. Mfuwe is one of the busiest destinations for tourists coming to Zambia and has the best animals in the world!
Arrival date in Zambia:
All volunteers attending the camp in Zambia should arrive two days before the commencement of the workcamp. This is to allow volunteers to attend the orientation. It is strongly advised to all participants that they should pass through the YAZ office for orientation. This will help prevent misunderstandings in the camp. It is also important for participants to confirm their coming two weeks before the scheduled camp. This will help the camp leaders plan better.
Hosting Fee:
210 Euro. A cheaper way of touring Zambia while contributing to community development. Volunteers pay cash direct to YAZ office on arrival.
« I can say that the best things about the workcamp and this whole experience were the chance of making a real difference to the lives of very needy children. This is an extremely valuable project where volunteers can have a massive impact. Also the possibility of learning a huge amount about a country so different from our own. I learnt ten times as much by carrying out a workcamp than I would ever do backpacking. »
