Welcome and briefing in Philippolis. Get to know your group and learn more about South African culture.	Community volunteering project in the Karoo - building, helping at the schools, and with sports. Weekends will be free for you to explore!

The 5 week Venture gets under way at Johannesburg Airport, where you will be met by our AV representative and helped with your transfer to an internal flight to Bloemfontein. Your destination is Philippolis, a two hour drive due south of Bloemfontein.

Over the next three days, you will have a lot of fun as you learn about South Africa, the local culture and environment, and the do's and don'ts about living in the bush. Then you will immerse yourself in community life for nearly five weeks of volunteering.
You will dig, build, paint and play - even teach for those that are interested – really, anything that is going on, you will be involved with!

At the weekends you will have the opportunity to explore - safari, traditional South African braais, Orange
River and more!
