They provide a number of different services to these people including; day care, meals, homework help for children 6-12, as well as some skill training such as sewing and weaving.

Why does this organization need volunteers?

Volunteers are needed at this project to help with the daily routine in the childcare center and school. Any help is always valued and appreciated as this center provides much needed services but has very little funds to keep it running.

What tasks will you be required to fulfil?

Volunteers help by playing with the children, teaching them in the school or daycare center, and providing them with a lot of attention. Volunteers can also help create alternative projects and activites for the children to participate in.

Requirements:
Any previous experience working with children, teaching, or studies in the area of childcare will be assets for volunteers at this placement.
