The children who spend time and have their schooling at this children’s centre are in need of love, care and affection which local staff is often too busy to offer them on an individual basis. Your volunteer work at this children support project will provide these orphaned and vulnerable children with the attention and mental stimulation that they need to develop healthy social skills and self-confidence.
Participating at our children support volunteer project can make a large impact on both you and the orphans themselves. We recommend coming for four weeks or more if you are to make a great impact on the lives of these children. The voracious need these orphans have to seek and learn about any subject matter – sports, music, or farming – is both awe-inspiring and humbling.
There is a possibility for our volunteers to work in every and any aspect of the children’s centre; whether it is teaching the children and helping them with their homework, playing a game of tag or by simply sharing your time, experiences and knowledge with them you are making a difference in their lives.
Volunteering at our children support volunteer project will give you an intimate insight into a new and exciting world. A world where childcare is a privilege and a gift, where orphans who have nothing will share whatever they can with a complete stranger, and where you can change the lives of people and children just by being yourself.
