Zanzibar International Volunteer Projects
Jubileeventures.org offers international volunteer and internship abroad opportunities throughout the year for students, professionals and tourist to the Island of Zanzibar, in the African country of Tanzania. The following areas of volunteer and internship placecements are available at the moment. In addition to volunteer abroad placement, we offer international volunteer placements in Zanzibar, Africa. This page provides information on some of the international volunteer opportunities available in Zanzibar. More facilities/projects and information is provided in our brochure. We have international volunteer opportunities for nurses, doctors, dentists and all other medical professionals including students in these areas; teachers; social workers; gap year students and basically anyone with or without any prior training.Volunteers work under the supervision of our staff and the persons in charge of placement facility. They are hosted close to the projects under which they work A certificate of participation is issued at the end of the voluntary service abroad period. The volunteer abroad program can be offered independently (standard program) or in combination with other programs such as the adventures and the language and culture program. A typical four week schedule of the Basic international volunteers program looks as follows:
Volunteer in TeachingYour contribution to teach English as a second language or other subjects will be highly appreciated and fulfilling to yourself. We work with a number of schools where you can be placed. Teachers work under the supervision of an experienced member of the school teaching staff appointed by the Head Master.A college degree or teaching training are not required, but suitable persons are expected to have at least graduated from high school or be enrolled in a college. On completion of a mandatory teacher orientation, the intern or volunteer abroad teacher will be expected to work for between 4 to 5 hours a day. Details of the some of the schools are provided in the brochure. Voluntary Work With ChildrenThe greatest cause of prevalence abandoned children in Zanzibar is poverty. As the HIV/AIDS pandemic takes its toll many kids have been left without parents to take care of them. Such neglected kids have often been taken by other families or by charitable persons and groups and put up in orphanages. Orphanage operators are often in great need of labor support to supplement their efforts.International volunteers at orphanages assist in preparing meals for the kids, washing clothes, doing the dishes and doing the many chores that running such a place entails. In the evening, once the kids are back from school, volunteers abroad in Zanzibar could play with them plus assist them with their homework. Medical & Dental Volunteering AbroadOur Africa
health volunteer placements are open
to medical professionals including doctors, dentists, nurses, medical
laboratory technologists, etc. They are also open to students in all
medical
fields. A professional license, relevant student ID or college letter
showing
your program and level of study is required at the start of your
medical
volunteer placement abroad. All
prospective international medical volunteers
also need to submit a resume showing their area and level of expertise
and what
they hope to achieve from the medical volunteer placement in Africa. Prep-program students (such as pre-meds)
should apply for the medical
internships, not the medical volunteer
program. There are a number of medical and dental clinics in Zanzibar where you can be placed. We also have wonderful international volunteer placement opportunities for dentists and dental technicians and hygienists in a number of Zanzibari hospital dental units. You will find the Zanzibar dental and medical volunteering abroad opportunity enlightening and rewarding. Volunteer Service With HIV/AIDS ProjectsIn collaboration with the local community, a number of local HIV/AIDS project seek to foster awareness about HIV/AIDS by offering free training programs for the community. Ideally volunteers overseas in Zanzibar in this project are first exposed to the main issues surrounding HIV and AIDS mainly in the first week.In subsequent weeks, volunteers in Zanzibar accompany local staff in their routine activities. Those doing voluntary work abroad with this HIV program will participate in offering clinics for patients, families and people wanting to test for HIV and AIDS. Overseas volunteers will also participate in home visit with the patients and families to provide treatment, food, and care and sometimes help with home chores. International volunteers will be involved in teaching about Sexually Transmitted Diseases including HIV and AIDS, and teaching about sexuality, to youths and parents. International volunteers with HIV and AIDS program in Zanzibar should also be prepared to visit with and providing support to orphans of HIV and AIDS, International volunteers and overseas interns with the AIDS program should come prepared to learn and participate in community education.
