Volunteer Reviews
Glenda
What I love the most about volunteering for the literacy program at Natest is the feeling of connection and the relationship developed with my student. It is very rewarding to see the progress and the love for books and reading that has grown during the course of the year. It was also heart-warming to attend the volunteer Christmas lunch where the educators and students showed their appreciation for what we do.

It’s great to be able to give the children who are struggling to keep up in the classroom, a little one in one time to help improve their skills. It’s so rewarding watching them improve throughout the year!

My name is Michelle and I have been a volunteer at Africa's Anchor of Hope at the Natest School for the last two years. My time at the school on a Thursday has bought me so much joy. I love spending time with the children, especially that you help the same child every week and you get to know them and see their excitement when they come to you for a lesson. It’s also very rewarding when you see the improvement towards the end of the year. I look forward to helping again in 2024.

I am very grateful to be a volunteer, as the joy I receive from a child's reaction to a story is fruit for the soul.
