Building and child care Project Jeffrey's Bay.

Do you want to work with Children adding Hope and Love into their lives whilst staying in a Beautiful Coastal Village? Then this is the perfect project for you.

“Share your Love and Care with Underprivileged Children in Jeffrey's Bay (famous Surfing Spots)”.

Enjoy your time adding Hope and love into Children's lives whilst living close to the beach in beautiful South Africa.   The Leaders at the child care say: "We saw the need at our local township life skill anf care centres, so we decided to come alongside the children and invest in their lives showing them the love of Christ and teaching them life skills.  We held small non denominational Church services for the community where anyone in the village is welcome to Join. The children that we work with come from very poor backgrounds. We encourage the children and help within the school and child care centre with activities for the children. We saw that the Childcare Centres needed assistance so we decided to start a Care Centre and school within the Sea side Village of Jeffreys bay.   These Centres were started out of a desperate need for education, parenting and caring.  Many of the children were left alone to care for themselves or were being looked after by members of the community whilst their parents worked.  These children are from very poor backgrounds.  Some of them have no parents. We encourage the children and help within the school and child care centres with activities for the Children.  As a Volunteer you will assist the teacher in teaching the children new skills, Bible Study, Pray and worship, and helping with general activities.  The children really need  1 on 1 interaction. If you want to prepare a lesson or Bible study with the children, then you are welcome to liase with the classroom Teacher to do so.

When Joining our Location at Jeffrey's Bay, we encourage you to bring your God given talents, and share this with the children in need.  (Please discuss your talents with the leaders) so they can organise for you to help in the areas of your talents.  You will have the Opportunity to get involved in extra projects we run (at no extra cost).  The Church and Centre run the following projects that you can get involved with:
