Get Involved
More and more these days people are looking for ways to volunteer in India, there is something about this country that has an appeal for those who are wanting to do good in the world.
There is a huge multitude of ways that visitors and volunteers can help out here on our orphanage. Occasionally things go so well that volunteers end up returning time and time again… some even end up joining us on staff.
We prefer to individually work out somewhat of a timetable for each visitor that fits in with our children’s home duties, school and tuition timetables.
Generally we like to find out from a volunteer what area of ‘work’ might interest them the most. That said, we are not always able to provide the exact job that a volunteer might want to do. We want your time with us to be productive, beneficial and enjoyable for everyone. Volunteer work can be things like:
Reading to children / Library management
Helping out on the farm/workshop
Painting & construction
Gardening & landscaping
Running activities/games
Cooking or cleaning
From time to time visitors want to run or assist in special projects. Some volunteers even choose to fund raise for specific projects before coming out to the Mission. It is very important that these projects be discussed with/approved by a member of our Board first. Unfortunately we are not always able to implement projects the way that you might suggest; we will always try to communicate the reasoning for this to you as best as possible; we ask for your understanding in this. The complexities of the law, systems on the Mission and our community can make some suggestions difficult to implement. Please know that we keep the well-being of our children and the Mission as our first priority.
