Grassroots Volunteering in Namibia
The organisations listed below have either got in touch with us to add their details to this or another of our websites, or we otherwise have reason to believe they are actively looking for international volunteers and charge reasonable or no fees to join in, live and work with them:
The Bernhard Nordkamp Centre
www.thebncnamibia.com
The Bernhard Nordkamp After School classes are geared toward helping learners in grades 1 to 7 in English (reading and writing) and Maths. The teachers follow the Namibian curriculum and textbooks are provided for every child. The BNC is looking for permanent and volunteer teachers of English (reading and writing) and maths for two hours every afternoon, Monday to Thursday. Active or retired teachers or adults with good maths and English skills and experience in leading groups of children and following a curriculum guide are most welcome. Colleges or universities that offer a degree in early childhood or primary school education could find this an ideal internship opportunity.
To ensure the necessary continuity for the children a minimum four week stay for groups or individuals who wish to teach is necessary. Shorter term volunteers can participate in one on one remedial tutoring with children who are struggling to keep up with the rest of their class. Applications can be made direct through the contact details given on BNC’s website or through Volunteer World.
Where: Windhoek.
Accommodation & Costs: No fee, including if booked through Volunteer World, but volunteers arrange and pay for their own accommodation.
