Hello There!

Are you passionate about early childhood development? Do you dream of nurturing young minds, sparking creativity, and making a lasting impact in the lives of vulnerable children?

At Lamb’s Haven Kindergarten, nestled in the rural mountains of Bolobedu South, Limpopo, we believe that every child deserves a safe space to grow, learn, and be loved.

This is more than just an internship—it’s an invitation to step into purpose. Here, you won’t just observe from the sidelines—you’ll engage, inspire, and contribute meaningfully as part of a dedicated team working to uplift and educate children in a deeply underserved community.

What You’ll do (Key Responsibilities):

As an intern, you’ll assist our early childhood educators in the day-to-day rhythm of the kindergarten. Your tasks may include:

• • Supporting classroom routines for children ages 3–6
  • Assisting in arts and crafts, music, sing-alongs, storytelling, and gross-motor activities
  • Helping with emotional and social development through guided play
  • Providing individual attention to children who need extra support
  • Assisting with educational games, literacy, and numeracy activities

• • Hands-on experience in early childhood education in a cross-cultural setting
  • Insight into holistic development and how trauma-informed care is implemented
  • Increased understanding of working in low-resource, high-need environments
  • Growth in teamwork, adaptability, and cultural sensitivity
  • The opportunity to explore vocational calling and servant leadership
  • Lifelong friendships, memories, and moments of impact

Who We’re Looking For:

• • Volunteers willing to learn and assist with children.
  • Students or recent graduates in Early Childhood Development, Education, Social Work, or related fields. Teachers looking for a break but wanting to experience different cultures.
  • Passionate, creative individuals who love working with children
  • Culturally open-minded and respectful of local traditions
  • Willing to serve, learn, and contribute in practical and heartfelt way

What’s provided:

• • Accommodation at our Volunteer Base with other interns and volunteers
  • Daily dinners (Monday to Friday)
  • Filtered drinking water
  • On-site support and orientation
  • Access to Wi-Fi, swimming pool, and laundry facilities
