The experience

Volunteers that chose to work at the childcare will be tasked with mentorship, counseling, general care, cleaning and various other tasks. The children are desperate for mentors who are willing to spend quality time with them, and plan fun engaging activities. Volunteers get involved in repairs and painting since the school or orphanage is in constant need of upkeep. Most volunteers that work at the shelter also teach at the primary school.
