The biggest event in the sporting calender takes place this summer in South Africa. Why not travel to Africa to be where the action is.

Lets face it not many of us actually have tickets to the world cup but not to fear there are still so many reasons to travel to Africa this year. Volunteering overseas has always been a favourable choice with a lot of people whether you want to offer your services as a volunteer in Kenya working with children or animals volunteering abroad is an excellent, exhilarating way to spend you summer.

This is a momentous occasion for everybody in Africa and although nearly all of the tickets have been sold out there is still good reason to travel over. Africa is a huge diverse continent and not everything will revolve around South Africa this summer.  Become a volunteer and offer your services to countries and communities that really need the help and support of someone like you. Volunteering gives you the diverse and unique opportunity to do something different in your life, to open doors and opportunities you couldn’t fathom in your wildest dreams. Whether you choose the rainforest’s of Uganda or the suburbs of Cairo there are volunteer experiences to be had all over Africa.

Volunteering gives you a sense of achievement, inspiration, invigoration and desire to strive for more. It is a unique feeling when you help someone who truly needs it and volunteering can offer these feelings in abundance. Get out to Africa this summer and volunteer, make a difference not only in your life but in the lives of many other people who need your help in unimaginable ways.

Africa is a continent with over a billion people, most of which are living in abject poverty. These figures make it truly understandable why voluntary help is needed desperately.

Be apart of something special and volunteer in Africa this year. Your help is unforgettable and extremley fruitful. Its a challenge everybody should set themselves to reap the benefits, happiness and joy out of life.
