Volunteer South Africa
"My volunteer stint with SASTS Working Adventures was one of the most memorable and valuable experiences I have ever had! I had already been in South Africa for 5 weeks studying service learning at Stellenbosch University through a different study abroad program and I felt the experience I had with SASTS absolutely made my trip! Everyone at SASTS was very helpful and very friendly and welcoming. I met so many people from all over the world and learned so much. I participated in the surf outreach program for my volunteer project and apart from learning to surf I was able to meet amazing people and felt I really got a sense of the community and the people involved in the project! Working with the kids was a very rewarding experience and I felt the program that was set up provided the kids an amazing opportunity to learn to surf and participate in other outdoor adventure sports that they would never be able to normally participate in. Although my project was only two weeks long I feel I forged friendships and had a very fulfilling experience, my only regret is that I could not have stayed longer." Brianna, Surf and Adventure Club
"Thank you SASTS for making this experience even better than I had expected. I wanted an immersion experience. I was looking to truly become a member of the community that I was volunteering in. You set me up with the most amazing host family who took me in as one of their family and taught me to live as a South African. Nuri stopped in every other week and checked in on me at my project to make sure that things were going smoothly and would coach me when they were not. On the weekends, Howard and Simba were amazing at advising me on the best ways to see this beautiful country and even helping me do it in the most economical ways possible. I can honestly say that SASTS under-promised and over-delivered. Thank you." Gabriel Awan, Sport Development
Work and Travel Abroad
"I would just like to express my gratitude to SASTS for handling my Canada Work visa. I have had the pleasure of being in contact with a wonderful lady, Trudy Coetzee, who has handled my application with the utmost enthusiasm and professionalism, always assuring me to be calm. It has been a pleasure doing my application through SASTS as I have gotten full time support and ongoing feedback. I will surely recommend the company to other students/ youth who would like to travel." Amenda Canham, Work Canada
