Volunteering - GOOD - Work Abroad
The unprecedented Covid-19 pandemic has posed an enormous challenge
                                                             for people, communities, governments and companies worldwide. For the
                                                             projects partnered with GHV, the challenge has been even bigger. Under-
                                                             staffed and underfunded under normal circumstances, some projects have
                                                             been left with no other choice than to close. Other projects have tempo-
                                                             rarily closed; some are operational but have had no volunteers to assist
                                                             them for many months now.

                                                             At Good Hope Volunteers, we see opportunity in every challenge and are
    looking to those resilient projects that are still operating, projects that have adjusted their operations to be able to function
    despite the pandemic. These projects are waiting for international volunteers to return as soon as international travel regula-
    tion allow.

    In our 2021 portfolio, we present these projects to you. Most of them are available now, though some will only resume
    operations later in 2021. So, whenever you are ready to travel again and to start the journey of your lifetime, Good Hope
    Volunteers is ready to support you realising your dreams.

    We have 25 years of experience in bringing young international travellers to South Africa and 11 years of experience in
    sending volunteers to projects. As a local provider, we pride ourselves on being involved with and knowing all our projects
    personally.

    We look forward to getting to know you and to supporting you through this experience.

    Yours sincerely,

    Wolfgang Graser                           Alexander Kratochwil
