Construction of a volunteer teacher’s house. Work to be done includes continuation of the construction of the teacher’s house.
Theme:
Poverty – you will always have the poor among you.
Accommodation:
Volunteers will be accommodated in African huts and tents put up by the community members.
Location:
Solwezi is in the North Western Province of Zambia about 600 Km from Lusaka and Kilelabalanda is located about 5Km from Solwezi town center. Study sessions and excursions to Mutanda Falls, the monument (ancient paintings and the falls), and Kaole Falls will also be done.
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 would recommend participating in a workcamp, especially with VAP, who ensured that I found a project to suit me and provided essential training for me in preparation for my trip. Being part of a workcamp really is a life-changing experience, oh, and it looks great on your CV! »
