	This placement would suit... Help to rebuild a dormitory in Malawi, where schoolboys are living in very cramped conditions. You'll help with the project to rebuild their lodgings from the foundations up, under the guidance of an experienced foreman. You'll be accommodated in a beautiful and remote forest reserve, giving you the option of safari game walks during or after your tenure at the project Programme Highlights Your first five days will be spent hiking around the surrounding areas, seeing such sights as the nearby Brachystegia forest and the local waterfalls. After this you will begin work on the school, providing invaluable help to a community that really appreciates it. Where Will I Live ? You'll be accommodated in a beautiful and remote forest reserve, giving you the option of safari game walks during or after your tenure at the project. During building work you may stay in tents among the local flora and fauna, giving an incredible insight into the genuine African experience. All meals will be provided for you. Qualifications and Minimum Skills There are no minimum requirements other than a passion for helping less fortunate people and being prepared for some hard work and rugged conditions. Some building skills would be a benefit but are not essential. What can I do in my spare time? Your free time can be spent however you choose, roaming the countryside and nearby forests, living with the local people or just hanging out with the other volunteers, who always form strong communities. 0845 3447629 Why choose GlobalXperience for your gap year adventure?
