Orphanage Work in India
Available at:
Jaipur  $494 four week
Orphanages are places where silence is the only lullaby and anguish is the only companion. It is where moms and dads are only two conceptual beings and the tender loving care of parents is only a distant dream. Orphanage may be a building where children with cheerless face wander around and where melancholy is the only tune heard around; this is the flashing image when thinking of an orphanage. In General, the orphanages are mainly the creation of the rigid social customs. There are several factors for the children coming to the orphanage. The carnal appetite is a natural phenomenon of living beings. Not getting the right match at right time for a girl or a boy lacking sex education promotes illicit relations between opposite sex. Such illicit relations give birth to a child not lawfully acceptable to society. Some time a child borne with certain mental or physical disabilities is also not acceptable to parents. And if the parents are no more, then also the kids will come to the orphanage. All such off-springs are mercilessly thrown at doorsteps of orphanage. Since all such children are creation of God and are a part of this universe, they deserve similar love, affection and proper care as our own children do. Therefore we take the help of international volunteers to assist the orphanage staff in discharge of their duties. This serves the dual purpose; one- the children get much of love, affection, right care and another- more and more lovers of mankind are accumulated.
The activities you’ll be doing
With our program we seek to assist the orphanage in helping the children. The volunteers will participate in the daily routines and can contribute with many things, just by being caring and affectionate in the work with the children. The volunteers will work with the children from 0 to 6 years old. There are also groups of mentally challenged children; the work will especially be with the mentally challenged, because this is where the Orphanage staff seriously needs help. Mentally challenged children need special care and attention, but the Orphanage does not have enough manpower to support this cause. Volunteers will assist the Orphanage staff and contribute with special attention to the children.
A day in the life of a volunteer
On working days, volunteers usually get up and have breakfast before leaving for their Volunteer Placements. Our staff will provide transportation to and from your Volunteer Placement if required. You will probably spend about four hours at your Volunteer Placement. Evenings will be filled with opportunities to learn about the local culture and customs, field trips to places of local interest, discussions with experts on local issues and others. Evening meal-times provide another exciting chance to enjoy authentic food provided by host family/our staff cooks. The food is delicious and healthy and takes full advantage of local cooking traditions. The evenings and weekends are free time, to relax or explore the local area. Volunteers often travel to other parts of the country at weekends, and the staff who are all from the local area themselves, are always happy to make recommendations.

I had a really great time working at the orphanage. The other volunteers were great and I have enjoyed visiting Jaipur. Working at the orphanage met all of my expectations and hopefully I may be able to return in the future! I felt the program was run really well and I have felt very comfortable. I will miss all of the children who were great. The children were amazing and community was friendly, comfortable and safe.
