Community service
Every community challenge is different sometimes your team will arrive at the start of a
project and will build from the ground up. In this case you may be clearing rubble digging
foundations chipping rocks lifting and laying blocks or mixing cement.
On other challengers you may arrive to find the building partially complete. In that case your
team might concentrate on finishing work, roofing installing windows, doors, or roofing.
Once the exterior of the classroom nears completion efforts focus on finishing interior. Every
building project is different.
Everything you do on a construction site, whether it is hauling water sifting sand removing or
placing dirt mixing cement by hand or passing buckets of mortar to another team member is
helping a remote community improve its educational or health services. It is an inspiring
process to be involved in.
Accept that you don’t always have to be productive to have a good experience. Regardless of
the work you perform community challenge teams inject enthusiasm and encourage the
families and community by sharing the burden of the constructions process.
You do make a difference and are greatly appreciated. You will need to be patient and
flexible. There will times of waiting for someone to show up, to make a decision or to just to
get started. You can always work extra hard when the time comes. Make the most of the
waiting around time to share with the community. You may never have the opportunity again.
Often the work to be done is very lab our – intensive.
Clearing and leveling a site, hauling dirt, digging foundation, Transfer of delivery of
materials such as Sand, gravel, cement blocks and bags of Cement. Manual pressing cement
blocks, Manual mixing cement, finishing floors, forming latrine, filling masonry joints with
cement, assistant with a physical inventory of Construction materials.
You will never be asked to do anything outside of your physical capacity and team work will
be encouraged at all times. No volunteer should be made to feel they have to do something
they not happy or comfortable doing.
There are many tasks on a building site so ask the supervisor for jobs you feel comfortable
with. Be open and honest if you are not feeling useful enough or you feel you cannot do what
you have been asked to. If you do have any reservations about any job you are assigned,
please to not hesitate to raise these with the construction supervisor.

4. The days will be scheduled around the local working hours and appropriate temperatures
throughout the day. Lunch, water and snacks will be provided on site and shared with all
members of the building team.
What Should I Expect?
Volunteering abroad can be the most rewarding experience of your life and the most
challenging at the same time. You will be immersed in a new culture, you will meet
incredible, and you will learn a lot about yourself.
Humility and patience are essential. One of the first things you will learn, whether it’s
standing in a queue at the post office, or waiting for the dial – up connection at the local
internet café is African Time. The locals will joke about it and, really, their approach is the
wise one. Everything takes a long time and the outcome is often not what you might expect to
have or to get.
You will make cultural blunders. It’s embarrassing but inevitable. A healthy sense of humor
will go a long way. My face still turns red when I remember the lovely little “purse”. I bought
in a San (Bushman) village. I took it to church services in Malawi for three years before one
of my African colleagues pointed out to me that it was a witch doctor’s bag and “no
respectable Namibian or Malawian woman would ever take such a thing to church.”
You will become the educational source. Your Abroad students, whether children or adults,
will be eager to learn about your home country (bring postcards to show them), and will be
just as eager to tell you about theirs. One of the most successful English lessons was having
students write the oral proverbs and stories told in their villages, and then asking them to
create their own original stories. If you would like to know more about the culture or
traditions of your host country, there’s no easier way than to assign it as an essay topic in
which different students will write more to you about their homes and cultural aspects.
