We will take you through an application process that includes a Skype conversation with your family and speaking to your mentors/youth leaders. We want to make sure you are ready to serve in such a unique place in the world! We have our volunteers live in the township community where we live with families that we know and trust. You will pay for your plane ticket and costs of food, board, travel, etc will be about $1000 a month. There is much to consider but we would love to talk with you more about it! ABOUT OCEAN VIEW Ocean View, a township located about forty-five miles outside of downtown Cape Town, is a coloured township that was formed in the late 1960s. As part of the Group Areas Act, all coloured people were forced out of their homes in what was defined as the white communities and relocated to Ocean View. Its identity is still very much impacted by the history of apartheid and many Ocean View citizens still hold deep resentment for being treated so poorly. While most Ocean View residents live in small brick houses or apartments, the high population growth is causing this township to be overcrowded. Other struggles include extensive drug and alcohol use, HIV/AIDS, high unemployment, violence, gangs, prostitution, and a lack of education. There has been a huge identity problem in Ocean View caused from the classification of being coloured. Many explain that they were not white enough during apartheid, and now that the apartheid is over, the government party has changed, they are no longer black enough. Theyre stuck in the middle with an overwhelming lack of hope and confidence for the future. A lack of unity within the community is also very evident and is a key factor to the problems in the township. There are almost 200 churches in Ocean View, thus further dividing the Christian community. While some efforts are being made to improve conditions in Ocean View, these separations are holding them back from making substantial progress. Although there are many deep-rooted problems facing this community, God is at work in Ocean View and there are some people that are beginning to take ownership over the potential and identity of their community by stepping into leadership roles and moving towards real change.
