Make A Difference
Volunteering is the ultimate exercise in democracy. You vote in elections once a year, but when you volunteer, you vote every day about the kind of community you want to live in.
African Angels Independent School hosts all kids of volunteers; local supporters are always welcome to come to the school and share their time and knowledge and we host many international volunteers with the help of volunteer organisation VA32. Be part of our team and give what you can. Your voice, your time, your funds or your friends – every contribution counts!
Local Volunteers
If you are local the the East London area and would like to help in the school, we are always looking for extra hands. Tasks such as:
- Reading with the children
- Working in small groups and one-on-one situations with the children
- Assisting with facilitating break and lunch times at the school.
If you have skills in teaching arts, music, dance and sports activities or would like to arrange a workshop with the children please contact us.
International Volunteering
