What are conditions like in the surrounding areas with Orphans Africa, and how difficult will it be for me?
Volunteers must be prepared for third-world conditions. There are no handicap-accessible conditions available. Volunteers will likely need to walk 5-6 kilometers a day when commuting to and from the Majohe school. The public bus system is composed of mini-vans that crowd about 25 or more people inside. There is no air conditioning anywhere except in large businesses in Dar Es Salaam. Volunteers with special healthcare and dietary concerns should discuss these difficulties with their healthcare providers before deciding to enroll as a volunteer. OA takes very seriously your capacity to handle these conditions.
