Volunteer in an Orphanage in Kenya

Description

Once placed, a volunteer could decide to work in either of the departments ? Cook for the children, feed them, teach them, help with laundry, mop the floor, give those who are sick their medication and soothe them to sleep one at a time. At present, the center is short of staff and most of the above chores are taken care of by a slim staff collectively with the children. The children are from different backgrounds hence, have different emotional problems in addition to societal effects that range from grinding poverty to HIV/AIDS. Others are from broken homes, where they were physically abused. This category of children together with those affected by HIV need special care, child psychiatric services and above all, friends whom they can trust and open up to ? a motherly, fatherly, brotherly or a sisterly figure ? a shoulder to lean on, sow hope and reap something in life. There are also those who have never known a mum or a dad ? this are children who were either found abandoned by the road side or whose parents are long dead from HIV/AIDS. Therefore other than material insufficiencies, our children?s home are mix of emotions that needs every one of us.
