About Program
Caring for infants and children who are at-risk, abandoned or otherwise have limited resources can have a lasting impact on a child's development and is one of the most rewarding placements available for volunteers. Prepare children for a bright future by playing games, teaching, serving meals, and giving much needed one-on-one attention and love. Volunteers are offered placement to work in an orphanage and daycare centers to help comfort the children, better their education, and improve the center.
Volunteers working at the orphanage or care centers will combine teaching wherein they can work at the orphanage school in the morning and continue caring and assisting at orphanage in the afternoon. This will make a greater impact on each child's life by teaching them at school and giving them your individual attention in and outside of the classroom.
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.
