Volunteer at a Children's Project for Children of Convicts in Beijing with WLS
China
Durations of Program: 1-2 weeks, 2-4 weeks, 5-8 weeks and 9-12 weeks
Typical Duration of Program: 2-4 weeks
Dates: start on any date
Description:
This project in Beijing is currently the home of 130 children ages from 1 to 20 years old. As a non-governmental charitable organisation, this project has been dedicated to providing foster care and education for the children of convicts for over ten years. The project is committed to bring these minors together in a stable and warm family. This environment enables them to grow-up both happily and healthily, just as other children would. The charitable services include tailored educational programmes, psychological counseling, rights protection and vocational training. As the children are neither orphans nor physically disabled, they are ineligible for government subsidies. At the same time they can receive unfavourable treatment in society due to their family background. On their own, the children would be left without shelter : some would beg for money and food, and many would be abandoned and possibly abused by their relatives.
