Service: South Africa

We have a number of links in South Africa and next October one of our key projects will be based at Umzingisi School in Port Elizabeth. The Stanley boys have forged strong links with this community over a number of years and we are now opening up the opportunity for all doing Junior Social Apprentice. Umzingisi is a school of sporting excellence so getting actively involved is a must. There will also be a number of projects running in local townships and schools including work at a soup kitchen.

The challenge will be in coaching, teaching and leadership and to develop an understanding of new cultures. Planning to be done will include sourcing flights, finding out about activities, risk assessments and significant fundraising. Costs will be in the region of ?1500 per pupil; however, this will be dependent on securing flights early. Fundraising target will be to secure 30-40 long term sponsors per group each willing to make a regular charitable donation.?
