Overseas
Voluntary Work With
Children in Africa
The
greatest cause of abandoned children on the streets
in Africa is poverty. As the HIV/AIDS pandemic takes its toll many kids
have been left without parents to take care of them. Such neglected
kids have often been taken by other families or by charitable persons
and groups and put up in orphanages. Orphanage operators are often in
great need of labor support to supplement their efforts.
International
volunteers at orphanages often teach the schools at the orphanage or in
nearby public schools that orphanage children attend; assist
in
preparing meals for the
kids;
doing the dishes, bathing the children, keeping the compound clean and
doing the many chores that
running such a place entails. In the evening, when the kids
are
back
from school, overseas volunteers with Africa
orphanages play
with the children
and assist
them with
their school assignments.
International
volunteer and overseas interns working with
children will
be expected to work
for
between 4 to 8
hours a day.
