Your role will be to inspire the children to get involved, and using your initiative and creativity to make the sessions enjoyable and constructive. As well as teaching the children important skills, you will be helping arrange tournaments, encouraging less confident children to participate, and fundraising for the sports facility.
Some days, you may be required to visit other primary schools and day care centres in order to reach out to under-resourced sites, so that as many children as possible can benefit from this worthwhile endeavour. Twice weekly, you will also be asked to join the community care volunteers in coordinating sports outings for orphans and other extremely vulnerable youngsters. You may even like to help organise a sports day for the local community, or campaign in the neighbourhood to recruit children to the project and demonstrate the importance of sports and teambuilding. Overall, the activities are varied, and will give you a great opportunity to build up your own organising and communication skills whilst providing an enjoyable challenge that will remember for the rest of your life!
