I spend 3 months in Manenberg with PlayHandball & Arise. The community area around the School is welcoming and the host Family took very good care of me. The work with the Kids at School and after School Program was challenging and fun at the same time. With a good preparation how to make a Training within in the age groups you can achieve lot of progress in the Kids abilities and learnings in a short time. Furthermore, the connect to other volunteers from the organisation is organized from time to time. In addition, the teachers also supported me during my stay. In the free time on Weekends the City Centre of Cape Town is in easy reach, incl. the Airport if longer distances need to be covered. I really enjoyed my time there and gained a lot of experiences and found new Friends. Highly recommend it.
