About Program
Most of our projects have little or no resources; so foreign volunteers with different ideas and experiences are highly valued in Nest of Hope. We works with a number of small community based women’s groups and organizations and we provide counseling, care and education for our rural people and orphans and underprivileged children especially. Some of our placements focus exclusively on teaching while others include both teaching and community outreach components. We also have different volunteer positions in Cameroon where you will be much appreciated, like teaching environmental protection and preservation, the Cameroon’s children’s program which include orphanages, disability centers, and villages and street children shelters. Many children in Cameroon and Buea especially are parentless or their families are unable to care for them.The role of the volunteer is provide love, attention, education and life skills for these children and to support the local staff at these placemenents
Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here.
