Nellie Johansson came here in November to volunteer 2 months at a Home of Safety for boys in Athlone. She did an amazing job with the children and also raised a lot of money and to not forget; helped to paint a 390m long wall around the premisses, what a job!!
Here are her words about her time at the organisation:
My time volunteering at St Francis Children’s Home.
My first day at St Francis started with a nice welcome from my supervisor Raj. We had a chat to get to know each other, discussed and brainstormed about what I could help out with and do on my 8 weeks at the children’s home. After we finished the talk I got a guided tour and introduced myself to the staff and the boys. I went home that day excited to come back and start working.
The rest of the week I wanted to feel the vibe in the area and get to know the boys. I spent my time playing around with them, but also trying to connect and blend in. Talking, laughing and enjoying each others company. We played with marbles, used the soccer field, hung on the sofa inside watching Naruto, drawing, listened to music just to mention some activities. Overall, having a lot of fun together. Click here to know more about #volunteer south africa.
