About Program
You are welcomed throughout the whole year to come and live with the children and their caretakers in Chitwan. With your actions, you shall be helping them move forward with their lives.
Being a volunteer with A Hand of a House of Dreams means doing the tasks of a social worker. You need to have patience, strong will and a genuine heart to care of 12 children among the ages of 6 and 16, 7 days a week.
Taking care of our children involves assisting them with before school study and preparations for school, meeting them after school and helping with homework, and spending time casually before and during supper. You will grow into being their bigger sisters and brothers.
You will be rewarded by learning a lot about yourself, as well as the lives of others, in a developing country where language and religion, outlook and habits are all very different than yours. Strong bonds are often made between volunteers and child and frequently volunteers return in the next year.
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.
