This is a home for orphans ages 5-16. The capacity of the orphanage is 16 children. Children attend school in the mornings and receive tutoring, counseling, meals and activities outside of class time. Many of the children are eventually adopted by foreign families. It is a clean and comfortable home. The organization does not have a lot of experience with volunteers but very much appreciates the help volunteers offer. Children also take part in a music program and hold an annual concert. Many are learning to play individual instruments.
The duties are flexible based on the volunteer’s interests and skills. Help is needed tutoring the children in math, history, geography and English.
