If you wish to devote your time working for our orphan program then, please note most of the orphanages are located within the Kathmandu valley. You have to teach the children learning activities through games, languages, school books, songs or any number of activities. The children expect your acceptance, love and care for them.
You can also teach the member staff of the orphanage by developing marketing, fundraising and program strategies for the orphanage. Volunteering in the orphanage is a really great opportunity to experience the obstacles and rewards of serving helpless people. The high mortality rate for mothers during childbirth, as well as the short life expectancy in general, leaves thousands of children without parents each year. As a result, most of these needy children are deprived of education and find work as child laborers in restaurants, factories, hotels, homes, and as trash collectors. These disadvantaged children need attention, love, care, and the opportunity to further their education. Orphanages provide these kids with daily meals, a bed, and some hope. Volunteers will be placed either in orphanages or in the host family near to the orphanages, where they will spend most of the time with the children, assisting them in their day-to-day routines.
The children are mostly between the ages of four and fifteen and have a basic understanding of English. The general role of the volunteer will be to act as an older sibling: to care for, look after and encourage the children. Volunteers will teach the children general life skills, including health and sanitation, as well as arts, crafts and music. They may also help the children with their schoolwork. As a volunteer you may also organize tours, games, drawing classes, singing, dancing, painting and other activities
that children enjoy.
