Om programmet

Our dynamic Sports and Health Volunteer Program at Highridge School, is a project that focuses on improving children's health and sports knowledge in a fun and creative manner. As a volunteer, your main role is to teach various sports and deliver health classes, shaping a dedicated sports program and curriculum for Kinder to Year 12 students.

Collaborate with the school staff to implement health and wellbeing lessons, organize sports events and carnivals, raise awareness about health, and establish a comprehensive schoolwide sports curriculum. With a strong emphasis on soccer, the program also aspires to propel teams into the national league.

This initiative addresses misconceptions about health in Tanzania, where cultural beliefs around success and limited access to healthy food options contribute to challenges. Few affordable after-school sports activities further hinder children's engagement in sports. Your tasks include teaching basic health classes during free periods and leading sports activities in the afternoons, contributing to the development of a comprehensive sports program and curriculum.

Highridge School encompasses both primary and secondary students aged 7 to 18. Volunteers receive a structured schedule for free periods and sports activities, ensuring a well-organized and impactful experience. We seek positive and energetic volunteers aged 18 and above, with a keen interest in sports and exercise. Physical activity, a passion for teaching, and a clean criminal record are essential. Experience in sports or health-related fields is advantageous. Please submit a letter of motivation with your application to ensure the right fit for this impactful program.

Typisk dag

Each day on our Sports and Health Volunteer Program, you will start around 8 AM. Depart from the volunteer house and head to the nearby school for an engaging 2-3 hours of teaching basic health to children. Classes cover fundamental human body knowledge, diet essentials, and emphasize the importance of exercise. Receive a detailed schedule of free periods upon arrival, allowing you to prepare for your classes held in well-equipped classrooms with blackboards and chalk. We encourage creativity in your teaching methods!

Following health classes, share lunch with the children before diving into sports and exercise activities. Begin with the youngest children, offering training in football, basketball, or volleyball with all necessary equipment provided. Alternatively, design your own games and exercises to keep the children active. As the afternoon progresses, older children join in, following a detailed program provided by the school upon your arrival.

Work from Monday to Friday with the option for activities on Saturdays if desired. Your role extends beyond teaching, as you collaborate with school staff to enhance and expand the sports program.

Afhentning i lufthavnen i Kilimanjaro International Airport

We provide our volunteers with airport pick-up - from both Kilimanjaro International Airport and Arusha Domestic Airport. Just provide us with your arrival detail - date, exact time, flight number - and we will make sure our driver is waiting outside for you with a sign of your name and a big smile.

Indkvartering

During your stay you will be accommodated in the coziest and most friendly hostel in Arusha, The White House of Tanzania. Upon your arrival, you will meet our staff as well as the Mboje family, who runs and manages Fursa Projects Tanzania as well as the hostel. The family also lives on site once in Arusha, and there is therefore always staff around. 

The hostel is a newly renovated big house located in an area of Arusha called Njiro. It is approximately 15 minutes drive fromt the center of the city, but within 10 minutes walking from the house you will find a big compound called Njiro Complex. Here you will find ATMs, various restaurants, gym, cinema, supermarket and much more. From here, it is very easy to either find a taxi or to catch the local mini-buses - dalla-dalla's - and get to the center of Arusha. 

All the rooms in the hostel are spacious and clean with their own private ensuite-bathrooms with hot shower. We have no single rooms, and as a volunteer you will most likely share a room with other volunteers and travelers. However, we find that this makes the experience much richer for the volunteers, as they get to know their fellow house-mates that much better. 

The hostel have various common-areas both indoor and outdoor, where guests and volunteers relax and enjoy their evenings after a day full of adventure - either at their placements or on different trips. As mentioned in the section below, all three meals are included in your accommodation price and all guests and staff enjoy dinner together every night. This is usually a time of day, where guests and volunteers will share experiences and get new inspiration for activities for their days off. 

Included in your accommodation price, you will also find a good functioning WIFI at all times, so you can easily communicate with your friends and family at home.

Mad og drikkevarer

Breakfast and Dinner is included. Breakfast is buffet style with toast, eggs, pancakes, banana bread and fruit. Dinner will be a mixture of local and western cuisine, generally consisting of rice-based dishes, pastas, stews, chicken, chips, etc!

Om projektet

Boresha Maisha Projects seek to provide communities with education about sustainable solutions to their problems through the work of experienced volunteers.

Mød din vært

We wish to create possibilities for communities and individuals to grow and develop in order to create a better future. We seek to provide communities with education about sustainable solutions to their problems instead of fast and easy solutions. How do we plan to do that? By continues education provides by experienced individuals with knowledge and specific education to a certain field. And this is where we need you!

Dealing with the challenges of today requires problem-solvers who bring different perspectives and are willing to take risks. We are searching for strong individuals, who wish to bring their knowledge and education and pass it on to communities and work places in Arusha, Tanzania. We believe that this education and sharing of knowledge is the way to solve many of the problems, the developing countries in the 21st century are facing. But we need you to help us with it.

Boresha Maisha Project emerged out of a pursuit to inspire and support the community. Having seen the bad effects of "voluntourism" many of the volunteering platforms create, we wished to find more sustainable projects, where the impacts will last and not just be forgotten with the next arriving volunteers. We wish to create platforms specifically for volunteers with the appropriate skills and this way ensure that the volunteers will be in surroundings where they feel safe and have an expertise. Look through our projects and see if we have one, that fits you. They get updated regularly, so don't worry if you don't find the one, you were looking for.  

Established in 2017, we’re an organization driven by progressive ideas and bold actions. Help us break the circle of "voluntourism" and projects who are ruining communities and families instead of keeping them together.
