Help Kids Haven with 5 volunteers for sharing what you know of vegetable growing for families
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
Kids Haven supports 50 growers in Barcelona - a community in Daveyton. We would like to share a basic course with the growers on vegetable production, including soil conditions, seasonal planting, pest control and managing soil washaway in storms. These are our growers biggest challenges. They grow for their own use to improve nutrition in their families. They are not very proficient in English, but we can translate. We would provide transport for you to the community from our Centre in Benoni

Helpful tips
Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
- 6. Avoid wearing expensive jewellery: it could get damaged, lost or stolen.
- 7. Ask, ask, ask! If you’re worried about something or concerned about your safety in a certain situation, ask the person in charge.
