Hoedspruit, South Africa

Boost The World volunteers are doing something beautiful!

In October 2023, we travel to Hoedspruit, South Africa with a group of young people between the ages of 18 and 24. Proceeds of the trip go to, among others maintenance of the BOOST creche that we built there with the local people, the vegetable gardens, maintenance of the environment and wildlife conservation. The Young Leader facilitators (volunteers) come from the Netherlands. The Young Leaders Expedition is a permanent project of the BOOST The World foundation. In addition to education in schools in the Netherlands, young people are committed to the world, society and themselves.

The foundation also depends on donors, so there is work to be done! In short, are you interested, and/or do you feel called to do something beautiful for yourself and the world. Then do not hesitate to contact us!

The right project that will be done will be decided later (depending on the needs at the moment). We are in the process of setting up a nursery. We will mainly continue to maintain and develop this nursery. Our team of volunteers will also create vegetable gardens, toilets and playgrounds for the locals there. Furthermore, we organize reading moment before and after school, games can be played with toddlers and primary school children.

Volunteer description

How do I collect fundraising for the trip?

Fundraising is necessary for these expeditions. With your donated contributions of 2500 euros that you personally raise, we purchase the ticket, the accommodation, your food and drinks, but also some materials needed to build and improve the village and the BOOST learning community. By raising funds in advance, you can add value and contribute to improving the living conditions of the locals in their community.
How you can fundraise Firstly, as a participant in this expedition, you pay 2500 euros in advance of the trip. Then you go out with a package that you receive from us, in which a form is added and with that you go out and tell companies, your network why you think it is so important to come along. In addition, we encourage you to organize additional fundraising activities (sponsorship, selling King’s Day stuff, selling bracelets, VAT). Additional fundraising activities are needed to raise enough money to recoup your 2500 euro deposit. The proceeds of your fundraising actions will go to your project and are intended for preparatory work, for the purchase of building materials, to pay the wages of local workers, to rent the necessary machines and, if necessary, to continue the project after the expedition has ended.
Together with the group you arrive at the place of the project and you can stay with 2 people in a tent or hut. You eat together at a large table. You have private showers in a shared shower room.
