The St. Lucia Orphan day-care & HIV/AIDS Awareness Project

St. Lucia is situated within the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, a beautiful area that was declared as South Africa's first Natural World Heritage Site by UNESCO, and which is called by many "Africa's premier bush-and-beach destination". The area is home to the Zulu tribe; a group of people with a very lively and colourful culture. It is within this impressive setting, we offer you the opportunity to gain a unique insight into the rural South African medical field, and to make a positive impact on the local community through our programme.

Project Highlights:

• Educate and play with small children some of whom have lost their parents as a result of AIDS
• Help raise awareness on preventing the spread of the HIV/AIDS virus in the local community
• Help build, refurbish and paint important community building e.g. schools, day care centres
• Immerse yourself in the local Zulu culture
• Make friends for life, both with other volunteers and with those in the local community
