    Situation

    TVS works with impoverished rural schools in the Eastern Cape to improve the educational opportunities open to children and develop their English Language skills. The aim of the residential camp is to motivate and educate children and teachers by exposing them to new people, places and ways of learning. Children experience a variety of outdoor and indoor activities and trips to local attractions whilst working with UK volunteer teachers on a project incorporating a range of curriculum areas. Feedback indicates that this is a highly effective way of teaching as well as being highly enjoyable for all concerned. The cost of a camp is £3500 per week for fifty children (with UK teachers paying their own international travel costs).
