Working at Orphanage

Working at an orphanage can be a rare first hand experience for volunteers. Despite many homeless, parentless and disabled children in Nepal, the number of orphanages and rehabilitation centers are not adequate to take care of such children. In addition, the experienced manpower with sound knowledge of child care is also deficient. Therefore, we want to care those children with the help of volunteers who are interested, enthusiastic and experienced in that field. The volunteers will be placed at the orphanages for teaching and child care. When they are placed there, they will follow the schedule and regulations of the orphanages. Normally they have to teach there five days a week for four – five hours each day.
Likewise, child care in orphanages is another important program we have initiated. The children who are disabled, under treatment and homeless as well as parentless are kept at orphanages. Different types of physically handicapped and mentally retarded children live there. Therefore, the volunteers who wish to be placed there should have sound knowledge of the medical field since they have to follow the medication of the children and their food. On the other hand, if they have child care experience in a related field, it can be extra advantage to place them in particular orphanages.
