Support
CAP
Volunteering,
Internships and Donations
There is a long history
of volunteering at CAP. In fact the organisation started in 1977
as a membership based group comprising exclusively of 'volunteers'
who came together to share skills, ideas and experience. Today there
are three main ways in which volunteers can make a contribution
to the work of CAP.
Volunteering
- Become a Trustee
- The
Board of Trustees are all volunteers who make a long term
commitment to CAP. But there is an ongoing need to bring new trustees
into the organisation, so if you are interested in offering leadership
and support, can make a commitment of at least one year, attend
meetings every two months and bring your specific skills and experience
to bear on a particular issue or task then contact
the Director for an informal discussion and a 'job description'.

-
- Become a Volunteer
- There
are opportunities to become involved in specific projects. The
possibilities are really endless and limited only by these variables:
- The time you have
available
- Your skills and
experience
- CAP's current
goals and activities
It is not even essential
that you are 'physically' present in Cape Town since certain projects
could be tackled using PCs and email. So if you have spare hours
, motivation and something to offer - get in touch.
Internships
- Become an Intern
- In recent years CAP
has hosted interns from around the world eg.: Scotland Canada
and the USA. They have come either as students on placement linking
their studies to work at CAP , as part of a wider country to country
development programme or on their own initiative. In all these
scenarios CAP's role is to offer interns the opportunity to use
their skills and experience in ways which fully integrates them
into the daily life of the organisation. In 1999 and 2000 they
have made a major contribution to our work. In fact this very
website was constructed/designed by Michael
Caplan, a Canadian intern.

Donations
As an NGO in a developing country CAP always struggles to raise
its annual budget and donations from individuals and businesses
are very welcome. You can send money by cheque, international postal
orders by deposit directly into our bank account. For further information,
please contact us.
In July 2000 the generosity of Willemke de Groot and Hans Nooren
meant that a group of our learners were able to participate in the
Standard Bank National Arts Festival. You can also make such a difference!
