Work in Orphanage in India

Project Summary

The orphanages in India aim to offer homes, educations, and hope for orphans. At this particular program, volunteers primarily help orphans kids by teaching basic English and organizing creative, extra-curricular activities such as game, singing, music, drawing, etc. This program is the perfect place for volunteers looking for opportunities to share their love, passion, and skills with these very-unfortunate children.

Skill/Qualifications

There are no specific qualifications needed to join IFRE's volunteer orphanage project in India . However, volunteers are expected to be flexible and patient as well as possess a passion and love for orphans.

Volunteers responsibilities:

As a volunteer in orphanage project, participants teach English (3-4 hours a day) in either the orphanage or school (where kids go for day schooling). Volunteers will also help kids to dress properly and reach school safely. Volunteers may also organize games, art lessons, singing, dancing, as well as other creative, educational and extra-curricular activities for the children. This may include training a groups in sports, teaching arts and crafts, organizing inter-school football matches, playing music, as well as teaching subjects such as math em atics, world affairs, hygiene, nutrition. the possibilities are endless. In the evening, volunteers help the children complete their assignments, monitor acad em ic progress, and assure children complete next day's homework. Some participants will assist in the care of the children who cannot yet attend school as well as lend a hand through food distribution, kitchen work, and garden maintenance.

Room/Food

IFRE arranges room, food and supervision for volunteers from the beginning to the end of the program. During the first week's language and cultural program, volunteers will stay in IFRE's hostel in Guna Gao ( Delhi ) where cooks prepare a variety of Indian food ( Nan , curry, Dal, chapatti, rice, pickle). For the duration of the program period, volunteers will stay with host families. Those volunteering in the orphanage project will stay with kids in the hostel. We arrange a separate room as well as a communal bath for volunteers in both the host family and hostel accommodation. IFRE maintains a local staff, office, vehicle, as well as their own hostel in Gurgaon, Delhi NCR. Most of IFRE's partner orphanages are located within a 20-mile radius, enabling IFRE to meet volunteers when necessary. Volunteers will also have 24/7 access to IFRE's office as well as the mobile numbers of in-country coordinators. In addition, the head of the orphanage serves as a local contact person for volunteers. IFRE's staff also visits each volunteer in a 1-2 week interval as part of the program
