Projects Conservation If you are interested in joining the Lake Malawi Hippo Expedition click on the image below. A monthly expedition combining scientific observation, environmental education and experiencing southern Lake Malawi by boat!       Teaching Rural schools in Malawi are seriously under-funded and any contribution you can make to the school will be gratefully accepted. We have 10 schools in the Monkey Bay area requiring volunteers. To teach English at any school you should have passed the TEFL (Teach English as a Foreign Language) course although this is not compulsory. These courses are available from many organisations, especially in the UK, and are also available online.  You may teach at Primary or Secondary schools but those wanting to teach Pre-Primary need to make special enquiries as there are not many of these schools in the area. If you have Grade 12 or equivalent you may help teach any subject or specialty you may have on request. Please be aware that we have to accommodate the schools terms.Click here for full details of the Teaching Project     Orphanage MVO is working with a community based organisation in Monkey Bay that is dedicated to the support of orphans and children at risk in the area. This is primarily an out reach project but more permanent facilities are being built at the moment. You will take part in out reach programmes as well as the building of the day care centre.     Medical Project / HIV/AIDS Programmes MVO volunteers work at the local hospital as well as conducting various out reach projects.Click here for full details of the Medical Project.     Lake Malawi Malaria Prevention MVO volunteers work to prevent the spread of Malaria.
