Dates: Any Sunday of the Year

Description: Volunteer work takes place in a large rehabilitation centre for young children of 0-5 years.

The centre is home to about 200 children between 0 and 5 years old, some of whom are mildly or severely disabled.

The children are split into 11 groups of about 15 to 20 orphans divided by age and disabilities. Due to the lack of staff at the Orphanage, these children rarely have any playtime or attention other than being fed, dressed and washed. This is where the volunteer work comes in. As a volunteer you would choose a group to work with and spend time caring and playing with children on a daily basis. You may also help occasionally with the feeding and dressing of the children.

There is also the option during your stay to visit and help out at a smaller private orphanage run by "Save the Children". During the summer months this will be held at a summer camp outside the capital. There are 15 to 20 children aged between 2 and 16 years old and activities will include games, painting workshops, and team building activities.
