Description

One of our most rewarding and popular social projects, spend time working with physically and mentally handicapped children and help them strive to shape a better life for themselves and for their future.

Highlights

Volunteer Role

Help is usually needed in the infirmary, where responsibilities will include: washing, dressing, feeding, and playing with children. Professionals trained in physical therapy and speech therapy assist in the more specialist areas.

Whether you have experience in this field or are simply willing to help out for a good cause, this is one of the most rewarding projects you can be involved with.

Volunteers are usually required to help during the afternoons as the children attend school in the mornings. If you would like to work in the mornings as well then help is needed teaching basic maths, Spanish, speech, and games. Volunteers are more than welcome to bring any additional ideas or skills and incorporate these into the lessons.
