Voluntary
Work With
Children
The
greatest cause of
prevalence abandoned children
in Tanzania 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 assist in preparing meals for the
kids,
washing clothes, doing the dishes and doing the many chores that
running such a place entails. In the evening, once the kids are back
from school, volunteers abroad in Tanzania could play with them plus
assist
them with
their homework.
Location:
Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar ONLY.
