MAGWA VOLUNTEERS
Cultural Volunteer Project
near Port St Johns, Wild Coast
Eastern Cape, South Africa
MagwaVolunteers is a small permaculture and community project situated at one
of the continent's most breathtaking locations - Magwa Falls on South Africa's
Wild Coast.
This experience will take you deep into the heart of Africa. Every tourist
and/or volunteer that ever finds himself / herself in Gwexintaba, is usually gob
smacked by the raw beauty of Mother Africa and her children of the stars, the
Pondo people.
Here you will experience Africa in a true African way. Singing children, cattle
in the fields, women collecting water from the river, men ploughing the land
with ox, waterfalls, forests, blue skies..... only to name a few of the amazing
things you will experience. The village is stress-free and peaceful and the
Pondo people are beautiful, loving, free, happy, smiling people with very little
influences of the Western world.
Whether you're on a gap year, want to learn about African culture or sustainable
living, or would just like to volunteer for a bit, Magwa is a wonderful place
for backpackers to make themselves useful, have some fun and experience a
completely different continent!
To volunteer in this community is to live in Africa! Magwa Volunteers founder,
Louis, is an active member of the community, and is involved in projects such as
brick-making and water-supply, and gardening classes for kids. One of the major
benefits of the project is employment for local villagers.
He invites you to come live here for a while. Introducing new village technology
and farming techniques, using renewable energy and nature to work for them will
ensure their freedom they still live. Plant fruit trees, work at the school and
do building work at the house. Play with the kids and experience their peace!
Living in a very basic house with light from solar panels and the moon, joy from
the Gwexintaba villagers and the equilibrium of nature is what you will
experience with Magwa volunteers. It could easily be a life-changing experience!
Africa is calling you!
