Typical Duration of Program: 5-8 weeks
Description:
In Thailand child care carries a broad meaning and it covers providing protective shelter to the children, protecting kids from physical damage, health, economic & social conditions, family histories, incidence of abuse, legal provision etc. Childcare is normally considered to be associated with orphans only. But in Thailand, there are no separate orphan centers; however, orphans are in the shelters where they constitute roughly one fourth of the total children. In Thailand, Global Crossroad offers working opportunities with kids in different settings. Childcare shelters have specialists to accomplish these broader objectives of child development. Although, our volunteers are not experts, they can be involved in some activities with those specialists to help and learn as well. Volunteer will have the opportunity to be involved in many aspects of the children's lives, from practical activities to playing games and teaching English. Many of the orphanages place an emphasis on skills such as sewing, hairdressing or carpentry; if you have practical skills they will be very useful. Presently work with Children/orphans projects are available in - Baby homes (0-5 years of age)
- Emergency homes (5-18 years of age).
- Child protection centers (7-18 years of age)
- Children homes (5-18 years of age) In order to work with children, we need to apply in advance and get approval by the concerned authority so volunteers are suggested to apply 1-2 months in advance. We normally need a recent photo of the volunteer and a photocopy of their passport.
