About Program
There are many children who have no one to look after them after the death of their parents. These children are forced onto the streets, where they collect rotten food and beg to survive. On the streets, they no longer possess the right of being treated when they get sick, of obtaining an education, or of sleeping under a roof on a full stomach.
At the orphanage, children are taught how to read, write, garden, work with wood, and play sports. They are given a chance at a better life. The primary role of volunteers is to teach supplementary lessons to orphanage and community children. Lessons are centered on the subjects of English and Mathematics with grade levels paralleling those at school.
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.
