The FIFA World Cup began today in South Africa. It runs from June 11, 2010 through July 11, 2010 in stadiums all over the country. From Cape Town to Johannesburg, South Africa has World Cup fever. No tickets, no problem! Why not consider volunteering in South Africa instead?
Volunteer placements can be found all over this magical country, and you can volunteer in pretty much very type of placement imaginable! In the spirit of the World Cup, there are even positions calling for volunteers to help teach sports to impoverished school children who have been inspired by the World Cup coming to their country.
Other types of volunteer placements include environmental conservation, wildlife projects, animal photography, helping out in orphanages, educating children, community development projects and much more. There are also many types of internships available in South Africa. Other interesting South Africa volunteer placements include coaching sports, community development, a cheetah reintroduction project, and a wildlife photography and conservation project.
