Description: Volunteers help in an orphanage which runs 2 homes for orphans. One houses healthy orphans while the other houses HIV positive children.

Volunteers may work with the younger children by helping with feeding, playing and general care. Volunteers may also help the older children with their homework, develop interests in the subjects or teach them English and computer skills. Volunteers may also bring the children on an excursion, initiate a project involving the children... there are plenty that volunteers can do. The most important contribution that a volunteer brings is their encouragement, attention and love.

There are also opportunities to be involved in community outreach. Join these children when they make trips to the nearby tribal village to offer their company and encouragement, and to share whatever food that they could spare. You will be touched by their generosity despite their circumstances.   

Highlights: Make a difference abroad! Volunteers can make a meaningful contribution by working with children at the orphanage. Spend quality time with them, teach them new games, coach them on their school work and help out with fundraising projects. Even words of encouragement and a listening ear are profound boosters to the esteem of these disadvantaged children.

This project is suitable for all, including independent volunteers, family volunteers, student and corporate groups.

Qualifications: A genuine interest to help the less privileged. Volunteers may choose to volunteer in activities relating to their hobbies, talents and interest, including teaching English, Computer, Music, Dance, Arts, Crafts and any other specialised skills. General helping hands are also welcome.
