Volunteer self-test

 

Please follow the steps as displayed in the picture to go through the self-test. 

Time & Finances to volunteer:

Are you able to serve for a minimum of 3 months up to 6 months?

 

Are you able to raise your own support to sustain you during your time at Rehoboth? (Flight ticket cost and you will need around 3500 Rand per month – this includes the 750 Rand rent for accommodation).

See www.xe.com for actual conversion rates to different currencies.

 

Community environment:

Can you serve in a community environment? (Communal living/cooking area for volunteers, we try to give volunteers their own bedroom, if possible).

 

We are a Christian organization and run according to Christian ethos. Daily devotions are held and prayer meetings are part of working at Rehoboth. Are you comfortable with that?

 

Work Ethics:

Can you work as a professional even though you are a volunteer? Although you are not paid, you will function as if you are working in a normal professional business organization. This means signing an official work contract (legal requirement of Social Development), responsibility, accountability, working under authority and weekend duties are all part of working at Rehoboth.

 

With responsibility comes accountability, with accountability comes working under authority, with working under authority comes regular feedback. Are you responsible and are you able to take responsibility?

 

Can you provide us with a police clearance (other name is Code of Good Conduct) from your country of origin?

 

Do you have a Servant Heart?

 

Do you go the “extra mile”? This means that although you get certain responsibilities assigned to you, if all of a sudden something needs to be done that is not part of your daily job description your response will be: “no problem, if I can help anywhere I am willing and wanting to help” . Seeing a need and responding to help solve it. Taking initiative!

 

Are you flexible? As circumstances and situations continuously change at Rehoboth, a very flexible attitude is required.

 

Something to offer:

Do you have a valid driver’s license and can you drive a manual car? We are 25 minutes out of town to do your shopping and one of the tasks for volunteers include helping out with driving.

 

Everybody has been given talents in life to help others; this can be anything from giving love to the children or having special skills required acquired over the course of the years or a combination of both.
