Greetings!

This is such an exciting time for Tremendous Hearts!  I can see our dream and vision coming to fruition.  We're receiving applications for our first team of volunteers in South Africa who will begin their service in January and, this month, we've launched a new website that reflects our new branding and better captures the spirit of our organization. 

As we reach these important milestones, I am ever mindful of the role that volunteers  continue to play in Tremendous Hearts.  Not only is our mission to supply volunteers to serve orphans and vulnerable children in South Africa, but so much of our organization has been built by volunteers in the U.S. and abroad.  From designers and writers to coaches, event workers, donors and fundraisers; our volunteers' tremendous hearts make us the effective and caring organization we are today.   Thank you!

Peace,

Marilyn

Tremendous Hearts is now accepting applications for volunteer positions in Cape Town, South Africa!  We are recruiting a team of 4-8 volunteers to serve in children's homes and other agencies that support orphans and vulnerable children beginning in January 2011. 

Volunteering with Tremendous Hearts is a great opportunity  to make a real and sustainable difference in the lives of  children in residential care in South Africa.   Our volunteers commit to a full year of service and to projects designed to build the capacity of the service partner with two goals in mind:  improving the standard of care in the children's home and increasing the organization's ability to find a "forever family" for the child within the extended family or through fostering and adoption.  

Volunteering in Cape Town will change your life and the lives of those whom you serve.  We're seeking  resourceful, mature, adventuresome and highly skilled people who understand the difference between helping and serving.  If  you have a heart for service and for children, South Africa's most vulnerable citizens need your skills and experience!

Applications and supplemental materials can be accessed on our website.  The application deadline is June 15, 2010.  For more information on our volunteer program or application process, e-mail us at applications@tremendoushearts.org.

Our Mission
Tremendous Hearts' mission is to provide highly-skilled volunteers who commit to a year or more of service to South African children's homes and other agencies that care for orphans and vulnerable children. Our aim is to improve the standard of care in children's homes and to increase the number of children who are able to transition out of residential care. We provide eligible volunteers with scholarships so that all who want to serve are able to volunteer regardless of their financial circumstances.
