Teaching in Cape Town, from a UK-based teacher

My two weeks teaching at Simon's Town school near Cape Town have been a wonderful experience, providing me with memories I am never likely to forget. I am an experienced teacher from the UK who decided to spend some of my summer holiday, for my sins, working in a school in a different culture. Not for a minute do I regret that decision. As a volunteer on this project I felt we made a real difference and had a genuine impact. Real Gap were very well organised throughout. The pre-departure help, advice and information was excellent and the staff were very helpful. Likewise, the in-country support was very reliable and well organised. Having volunteered in east Africa with a similarly excellent organisation a number of years ago, I have to say the support and guidance Real Gap provide are second to none and everything you could need in helping to organise a fulfilling, worthwhile and fun experience. Have no reservations in recommending to anyone!
