Volunteer Nepal - Child Care (Orphanage) Project

Contribute to the Orphanage Project run by Friends for Asia. You will be placed in a program where you can make a real difference. Through education and interaction, participants are able to transform the lives of disadvantaged children yearly. Dedication and enthusiasm are a must for the challenging role. For the right person, it is a truly profound experience. We place our volunteers at a number of children's homes and orphanages throughout the Kathmandu valley. You will live at the home full-time for the duration of the project, truly immersing them in the day-to-day life of a Nepal orphanage. Volunteering in Nepal - A Day in the Life The life of a child care volunteer is often a demanding one and it can be "go, go, go" from dusk to dawn. Responsibilities vary from home to home and often involve simply interacting and playing with the kids. Many homes will be empty during school hours, though there will often be sick children to care for. After school hours, the children will need to be fed and helped with their homework, followed by games, songs and other activities to keep them stimulated until bedtime.
