Help Underprivileged Children in Goa, India
India
Durations of Program: 2-4 weeks, 5-8 weeks and 9-12 weeks
Typical Duration of Program: 2-4 weeks
Dates: inquire for dates
Description:
Helping the children with special needs on this project will undoubtedly bring you the biggest smiles possible when you sing, dance and help to enrich their lives with your enthusiasm. You will also be helping underprivileged children with their homework and helping educate them through drawing, arts and craft, playing games and getting involved with sports - if you have enough energy! *What the project does and why it needs you!
On this trip you will work at 2 different projects. In the morning you will work at a local high school which opened a special needs centre in 2007 to allow mentally and physically challenged children integrate better into school life whilst also giving them the specialised care and attention they need. The main aim of the project is to educate the children irrespective of their disability and make them feel equal among all. The project in the afternoon is a centre set up to look after the children of migrant workers to provide care and attention for them after spending the morning in school. As their parents are working it can be easy for the children to be led astray but now they have somewhere to go in the afternoon where they will get the attention and help they need to quide their lives in the right direction. You will be able to help teach English, help with homework, play games and get involved in some singing and dancing! *What you'll be doing
In the morning you will be based at the special needs resource room at the school giving attention and support to the children, helping with communication, singing songs, reading, writing and keeping the children entertained and educated. Your typical hours here will be from 8am to 1pm. In the afternoon from 3pm to 6pm you will be working in the after school club in the childrens home helping with homework, singing, playing games, drawing, and keeping the children entertained.

* Goa great destination for brilliant beaches, great atmosphere, lots of 'interesting' people and different arts, cultures etc
