My sister and I had a good experience volunteering here. The children are the sweetest ever and it was so nice once they got used to us being there. We were expecting to do more but rules in the host changed and it was more planning small activities and playing with them which was fine! A favourite for the children was sensory play. The staff were friendly to us and we had some some great chats, sometimes they might seem like they don't want to talk however it is understandable there are a lot of visitors everyday best thing to do is make the effort to talk to them! Overall we enjoyed 🫶🏾

Volunteering at the host was an incredible experience. The children are adorable and full of life, and I loved spending time with them. My tasks mostly included playing with the children, creating new activites, organize and clean the playing area… The team is dedicated and does an incredible job caring for the kids. I recommend this experience to anyone who wants to help and being surrounded by lovely humans.

It was difficult because what we was expected times with helping the children were completely different, no fault to Lucy. I think it's difficult with communication and being appreciated for what time and money we've given up but I wouldn't change my experience with the children. Lucy tried her best to have our back.

Volunteering here was a deeply touching experience, connecting with the kids was truly rewarding💙 It's an eye-opening opportunity to witness realities we often overlook and to offer genuine support to those who need it. However, it's important to come with an open mind and realistic expectations, as not everything is as rosy as it may seem. Still, a valuable experience for those wanting to make a difference 💜

I have spent the last month volunteering in the host and have enjoyed getting to know all the children. Not an easy project as the children know nothing but the four walls of the orphanage and what we can provide for them! Volunteering here is for the children, the staff aren't always welcoming but they can be lovely!

The concept and idea behind volunteering at the host is good. However I feel like there is a lot of room for improvement. Showing up there I didnt't really feel welcomed or needed as the children are already cared for 24/7. you get to take some of the kids for playtime which is nice. But you never truly connect with them as picking them up and comforting them is prohibited. There is a genuine lack of autonomy and you feel like the staff is working against you a lot. There is also tons of people just randomly showing up to see the children play and what not which is also bizarre.

I was a good experience overall, here are a few key points : - it's a bit frustrating not to be able to really bond with the children (we are not allowed to carry or cuddle them) and I do think they lack affection, which sometimes made me really sad. - there is often a « zoo like » atmosphere as many visitors come all the time and take videos and pictures of the children (and obviously volunteers) that are here. But ANYWAY. I noticed this the first week and chose to stay as I would give what I could, my energy, my sunshine and smiles and anything they would give me :)

Volunteering at the host has been one of the most fulfilling experiences I've had in my life! I love how the team is continually working to provide a better future and schedule for the kids learning and development.

The host, Lucy is a living Angel, she's just fantastic. Accomodation is not supplied but Lucy has researched some great places to stay for $10Au per night, I loved Semadi living. Lucy lives in England and is the coordinator for all the amazing volunteers. The orphanage and what we do there melts your heart every single day but it is also super tough. The way they run the orphanage is super tough. Know that when you help here you are helping broaden a child's mind, environment and life experiences. And with Lucy as our leader, the small changes, will one day become big changes. Mwah

I have spent the most meaningful two months of my life volunteering at this incredible the host. From the very first day, I felt embraced like family always greeted with warm smiles and endless kindness. The staff are compassionate people who care about the babies and make everyone feel at home. The babies themselves are absolutely lovely, each with their own unique charm, and they fill your heart with joy. The orphanage is a nurturing place filled with love and care, but they need help to keep providing for these little ones.If you're looking for a way to make a real difference, volunteer ♥️
