Quote image "I truly loved, lived and was humbled by every minute of it"AV volunteers teach in classrooms, coach sports, get involved in extra curricular clubs or work in the wider community. Together with fellow AVs you will live in local houses, with a high level of independence.  Spending a significant length of time in one place gives you a chance to become fully involved and gain a sense of achievement.

Independent Travel (4 weeks)

Explore Africa further using the confidence and local knowledge gained on your project to make the most of your travels. Head south to see Victoria Falls or travel up north to visit Tanzania, Kenya or Uganda. Take advantage of adventure activities on offer, relax on the white sandy beaches or go on safari. You choose what you do, but we are still on hand to help.
