Mission Travel Group in partnership with Living Hope Ministries and ACTS has a Christian volunteer placement program based in Cape Town.

Living Hope is in desperate need of self-funded volunteers to come & live in Cape Town for a period of time (30 days to 2 years).

Cape Town has to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It has both the best and the worst of the world – spectacular coastline and mountains surround the city, restaurants and shopping, five-star hotels. Cape Town also suffers from a ‘split personality’ with all of the qualities of a first world, first class city but alongside it sits a third world community – the African and ‘Coloured’ communities that live in poverty stricken apartheid-constructed townships where HIV/AIDS and drug addiction runs rampant.

Mission Travel in partnership with Living Hope Ministries and ACTS (African Christian Tours & Safaris) has a volunteer placement program based in Cape Town.

Living Hope is in desperate need of self-funded volunteers, particularly with skills in the following areas, to come & live in Cape Town for a period of time (30 days to 2 years).

The skills they need include:
· Maintenance workers, anything from gardeners to specialist trades(electrician, plumber, carpenter, painter, brick layer/mason)
Event Planner, prefer 90 day stay
Volunteer Coordinator minimum 2-year commitment
Sports Coordinator, minimum 1 year
Coordinator for parenting support groups, minimum 1 year
Curriculum coordinator, min 1 year, from May 2010
Photographer, 30 days minimum
Admin, secretary, executive assistant,
Accountant, 30 days or more
Children’s workers – to help with running after school kids clubs in the townships

If you have never been on a mission before, Cape Town is a great introduction. It allows you to impact the third world whilst being able to retreat at the end of the day back into the first world.
It is often useful when volunteering for an extended period of time to be able to have home comforts such as a safe & secure place to live, running water, internet access.

Volunteer placements start at US$1595 for a 30 day placement – this includes your
accommodation, transport, most meals and a donation to the Living Hope project. Mission Travel has special airfares for volunteers to get you to Africa at the best possible price.
