| 10) Children /Orphanage Work. |
Many children become orphans and vulnerable every year in Nepal due to the high mortality rate of mothers during child birth .These children are deprived of basic need such as: food, shelter and clothing. They don’t have access to education and maternal love to go ahead. As a result they start working in their early childhood in factories, restaurants, hotels and even in others' houses as a child labor or a slave. Some of them also can be found in streets as well collecting plastic and other things to exist .These disadvantaged children need attention, love, care, and the opportunity for their better career. Orphanages provide these kids with daily meals, a bed, and some hope. Volunteering in the orphanage/children center in Nepal is a really great opportunity to have experience about the children situation in Nepal .Volunteers will be placed either in orphanage/children center or host families nearby where they will spend most of their time with the children, assisting them in their day-to-day routines.
The children are mostly between the ages of four and fifteen and have a basic understanding of English. The general role of the volunteer will be to act as an older sibling or caregiver: to care for, look after and encourage the children. Volunteers will teach the children general life skills, including health and sanitation, as well as arts, crafts and music. You can also arrange tours, games, drawing classes, music, painting and other activities which make children happy. |
