Volunteer

Pass It On Africa is a charity that is run almost entirely by volunteers. At present we have 15 volunteers giving anything from 20 hours to half an hour a week. We have lots of plans to expand and support more schools, with your support that would be possible. We are growing at an exciting rate and will be looking to employ more people towards the end of 2012 on a part time and full time basis. Could you spare half an hour or more a week to do a specific role for Pass It On Africa? If you could, say hello at info@pioafrica.org.uk
