Help World Speech Day South Africa with 100 volunteers for the set-up of 50 reading corners
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
Help Us Create Reading Corners for Young Readers! World Speech Day South Africa’s UN SDG Book Club needs your help! We’re setting up 50 reading corners in hospitals, schools, and community centers to make reading accessible to young minds. We’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers to assist in various locations, including Johannesburg, Pretoria, Hammanskraal, and Makapanstad. Your role would involve light manual tasks like unloading trucks, lifting light furniture, assembling shelves, and arranging each reading corner to create a welcoming space. If you’re ready to make a meaningful impact and can spare a few hours in the next few months, we’d love to have you on board! Let’s make a difference—one reading corner at a time!
Helpful tips
Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
- 6. Avoid wearing expensive jewellery: it could get damaged, lost or stolen.
- 7. Ask, ask, ask! If you’re worried about something or concerned about your safety in a certain situation, ask the person in charge.
