This is an eight-week Pre-Field Training for One Hear Source Volunteers. 

Pre-Field Training Expectations

 

Our expectations for our volunteers are extremely high both during pre-field and once in Tanzania and South Africa. Our expectations are also very simple: every volunteer should actively participate in every aspect of pre-field training, which includes the following:

 

  • Activily participating in all pre-field Tasks, activities and discussions.
  • Complete all assignments as directed by staff on time.
  • Turn in the deposit, program fee, and all other paperwork on time.
  • Build mutual trust, respect and understanding of the work necessary to ensure our ability to teach effectively.
  • Provide constructive criticism of peer work in order to further facilitate our mutual education.

Tasks: Each Task in the One Heart Source Pre-Field Training is designed to prepare volunteers for their work and stay in sub-Sahara Africa.  The assingments depicted in each should be turned in on or before the dates shown completed in full on the Activity Wall within that Task's page.

External Links: The role of External Links will vary weekly, however volunteers are expected to stay current on the links posted as they will provide relavent context, information, and insight into our goals as an organization.
