Visiting India requires your time, lots of information and desire to have a great adventure. It is a country that can provoke a cultural shock that very few countries generate, it is unique! What better than being part of a childcare volunteer project in India.
But not everything is beautiful as we would like. The problems of poverty, inequality and child labor mean that many children do not have the opportunity to access education, mainly children who have abandoned their families, or because they have lost their families and in some cases are children rescued from child labor. These realities keep our children from the joys of their childhood and make them require a lot of affection, love, attention and mainly a good education. Many of the children who come to the child care volunteer project, seek attention and support from everyone who collaborates in the center, including volunteers. We serve children from 0 to 18 years. Important ages for the development of their skills and knowledge.
WHAT WILL I DO AS A VOLUNTEER?
The volunteer is always well received in volunteer programs such as child care, as it provides love, attention and love to our children. We need volunteers who want to support and contribute their grain of sand. The volunteer can be involved in all scheduled activities such as:
- Support in teaching subjects such as: mathematics and English.
- Organization of educational and educational games.
- Collaboration in dance, singing and drawing spaces.
- Support awareness and awareness programs on health and hygiene.
- Help orphanage staff in daily tasks in areas such as: cooking, cleaning and distribution of food.
As a volunteer you must be prepared for difficult situations. You will almost always work in a place where you must be a person prepared to listen to painful stories. You should also be adaptable and flexible because you work with children and in rural places. May this not discourage you, the children receive you and thank you with the best of their smiles for the support and time you share with them.
