| Description: |
Each year, hundreds of children leave poor villages to find work in cities. Most of them are abandoned at an early age, have fled from war, their parents were killed in war or in jail, destitute family background etc. As a result, most of these needy children are deprived of education and find work as child laborers in restaurants, factories, hotels, slave, and as trash collector. These disadvantaged children need attention, love, care, and the opportunity to further their education.
Our volunteers teach basic English and other subjects such as math and science in creative ways to these eager learners. As a volunteer, you might also organize tours, games, drawing classes, singing, dancing, painting and other activities that children enjoy. Volunteers may help the children prepare for school, help with their homework, and organize arts and crafts activities.
Rural Health Service
Volunteers will assist community health personnel in health work such as checking patients, vaccinating, dressing normal injuries, consultations etc. Moreover volunteers can participate in a work camp that is organized by a local women's group, youth club and our organization.
