Volunteering in Hout Bay is the best of both worlds. During the week i spent my days getting to know two fascinating communities - Handberg Harbour & Imizamo  Yethu - and frolicking on the beach. I spent my nights and weekends exploring the beautiful and amazing city of Cape Town. Met amazing people and loved every minute of it.
