Friends of the Children's Hospital Association, Western Providence South Africa

Primary job responsibilities;
My position title was 'play therapy', so my job was to heal the children through play. I gave the children toys and games and spent my time entertaining them.

Over the course of the semester I was allowed into parts of the hospital that are blocked off from most of the volunteers. I also trained new volunteers that came in.

I would rate this experience as excellent and I would recommend this site to other students as it was a fabulous place to be exposed to real life situations in a hospital.

To future students I would tell them to make sure that they choose a place they really enjoy.
