Teach and Community Outreach Program in Zambia
Volunteers in the Zambia Teach and Community Outreach Program will split their time between several local schools, the Livingstone Street Kids Community Association orphanage, and other community development program sites. At the schools, volunteers will assist teachers, coach sports, and act as a positive presence in the children's lives. At the orphanage, which houses children who lost their parents to AIDS, you will help children to do their homework and play games, and you will also provide assistance with theater productions and other extramural activities. Your energy and presence will help the students develop intellectually and creatively, and will make a lasting impression on their lives.
Public Health Outreach Program in Zambia
In the Public Health and Community Outreach Program, volunteers will assist the staff at medical clinics throughout Livingstone, Zambia, and work at a home for children orphaned by the AIDS epidemic. You will also lend a hand with other community programs, such as hospice care and classroom construction. Your assistance in the clinics will provide much-needed relief to the overwhelmed staff. You will get a rare glimpse into how Africa's medical institutions are coping with the AIDS epidemic and the spread of other infectious diseases. At the orphanage, your energy and presence will help the students with their learning and creativity, and make a lasting impression on their lives.
Sports Coaching Program in Zambia
Volunteers in our Zambia Sports Coaching Program will lead sports games and recreational activities with children in local schools and communities. In addition to the benefits of physical activity, using games makes it easier to talk about issues such as AIDS, HIV, and sex education. You will spend your time training, guiding, and working with soccer teams in the Livingstone community as well as teaching physical education in schools where it is neglected due to the lack of trained teachers.
