Program Details
This project runs all year round so you can choose to volunteer when it suits your schedule. We encourage you to stay longer so you can do more from minimum of two weeks you can do a lot also depending on the amount of the funds we have collected for the project.
No building experience is needed. All the work you do is under the guidance and supervision of a professional builder, and they’ll teach you everything you need to know.
With the help of other volunteers, and under the guidance of an experienced builder, you’ll do things like:
digging foundations
mixing cement
construct a roof
laying bricks
plastering walls.
Activities & Shift
On a typical day, building work will usually take place in the morning up to the afternoon. So your work hours might be from about 8am to 1pm. It’ll be tough but rewarding work, as you see the tangible results of your efforts.
With the help of an experienced builder, you’ll construct classrooms and other school buildings. It will be tough work, but knowing that you’re helping local communities will make the effort worthwhile.
You don’t need to worry if you don’t have any building experience. A local builder will teach you all the skills you need to participate fully in this project. The work you do will depend on how long you’re volunteering for and the progress that’s already been made on buildings when you arrive. The local builder will guide you in using construction techniques that are easy to master.
