In the heart of our community, Abraham Kriel Childrens Home stands as a beacon of hope for children from toddlers to 18 years of age. This year, under the inspiring theme "Our Town, Our Children, Our Hearts," we are calling upon teacher students and businesses to join hands in a unique volunteer program aimed at enriching the lives of these children and, concurrently, offering invaluable professional development for future educators.
For Teacher Students : A Call to Make a Difference
Are you a teacher student looking for a meaningful way to apply your developing skills and significantly boost your CV? Abraham Kriel Childrens Home invites you to become a part of our volunteer teacher program.
Dedicate a few hours each month to fill daily slots between 3 and 4 pm, choosing between part-time and full-time volunteer opportunities.
Your contribution will directly impact the lives of the children in our care, providing them with the educational support they desperately need. Whether it's assisting with languages (Afrikaans, English, Setswana, Sesotho), or tutoring in Maths and Science, your skills can light up a child's path to a brighter future.
In recognition of your selfless service, the home will provide a letter detailing the services you've offered, adding a sterling reference to your CV. Furthermore, as the official communication partner, The Go-To Guy will award you a volunteer badge for your social media profiles and feature your experiences in a special quarterly interview article.
These insights and stories will not only highlight the impact of your work but also serve as a testament to your professional growth and dedication.
For Businesses and Volunteer Teachers: Enhancing Skills and Building Futures
We also extend a heartfelt invitation to businesses and volunteer teachers to share their expertise and passion with our children. Whether it's through conducting workshops in practical skills such as Welding, Carpentry, Baking, Arts and Crafts, Nails, Makeup, and Hair, or providing educational tutoring, your involvement is crucial.
By offering practical skills training alongside traditional educational support, we can equip our children with a well-rounded set of skills that prepare them for various life paths. Volunteer teachers in the practical skills sector are especially welcome to help bridge the gap between education and hands-on experience.
Businesses participating in this initiative will receive regular media exposure courtesy of The Go-To Guy, acknowledging your significant contribution not just to the Childrens Home but to the entire community. This collaboration not only nurtures the children's futures but also strengthens your business's role as a community leader and supporter.
Our Annual and Quarterly Themes: A Year of Engagement and Growth
This year's theme, "Our Town, Our Children, Our Hearts," emphasizes the collective responsibility we share in nurturing and supporting our children. It's a call to action for everyone in the community to come together and make a tangible difference.
The quarterly theme, "Embrace and Engage," focuses on the importance of community engagement and the profound impact our collective efforts can have on the lives of these children. It's an invitation to step forward, contribute your skills, and see firsthand the difference you can make.
