Work in Orphanages

work in orpahanage india India contains one-sixth of the world's population, and millions of her children are born and raised in the streets. To help these teeming masses of homeless children, RCDP volunteers work in orphanages and share their hope, compassion, patience, and encouragement with India's neediest children. We work with well-established local organizations to provide this much-needed volunteer orphanage program. For many years, our partners have provided informal education, health care, and creative activities for India's orphans.

Your activities as a Volunteer:

As a volunteer in orphanage project in India, you will contribute in the development and growth of some of the most deprived and neglected children in the world. You will help the local staffs as they work with children and directly involve them in various skill-developing activities and teaching English. Your commendable effort, contribution, teaching, love, care and inspiration for these underprivileged children will definitely enhance their knowledge, skill, perception, and experience thereby assisting to make their future success and radiant.

Working in an orphanage is a real rewarding job though your work can be difficult at times. You will work with small groups and may be asked to teach english, games, art, sports, and music and also escort the children to various activities. The orphanage centers accommodate up to 50-70 boys and girls between the ages of 3 to 14. Although this is not an English teaching placement, you will have the opportunity to teach English during your stay in the orphanage. If you are skilled in sewing, painting, tailoring, crafting, typing, and computing, you can teach these skills to the children as well.

Skills required:

No specific skills and qualifications are required. But volunteers joining orphanage projects should have love and passion for serving poor kids. Volunteers should also be flexible, self-motivated with open mind to learn and serve to the people of new culture and religion.
