"What can I do to help?" "I want to volunteer in Africa"
My standard reply to those asking how they can help is to tell them to send a donation. Or to ask relatives, their church or employer to donate. Maybe they can organize a yard-sale or bake-sale to raise a little money. We also accept volunteers to come here and work at the school. Volunteers play with the kids, assist teachers in class, teach remedial classes, make home visits and run errands. Volunteers will pay their own travel and living expenses. Figure about $150 a week for food and room. Free meals at the school are included. Hospital services are excellent here in Siteki. Good Shepherd Hospital is very respected, and they only charge $2.50 for a visit, including medicines. If you are admitted, expect to pay a little more.
You could be here in 3 days if you leave tomorrow!
