The project is run at a children care centre, an educational institution to rehabilitate the children of various disabilities. The volunteers should be prepared to work with the Childrens’ Tutors and other specialist staff in the school system.
Transportation:
VWAN takes the responsibility to collect and return volunteers to the airport at no extra fees. However, flight details and arrival schedule need to be communicated to the organisation at least two weeks before departure. Other inland transport except when on a group journey during the project, will be covered by the volunteers.
Hosting Fees:
£150.00 GBP to be paid on arrival to VWAN. Please note that this amount is also charged per month for Medium and Long Term Volunteers. So if you register to take part in one of our M/LTV projects, just multiply the number of months of your stay by the monthly fee.
The project is situated at a Child Care Centre (i.e. Children and Motherless Home) located at the extreme part of the suburbs of the city. The inmates are the neglected or abandoned children that were thrown away on the streets or highways for the reason of their parents unwillingness to maintain or bring them up. This is a direct result of early or unwanted pregnancy.
Work:
Assist the attendants in cleaning, washing and providing a comfortable environment for the helpless children. Volunteers will give assistance in their social lives, distribution of food and tiding, organizing entertainment, cultural events and various social occasions (games, courses of foreign languages, etc.).
Study part:
Socially disadvantaged children. The objective of this project is to give priority attention to the lives of these abandoned and innocent babies/children and provide them basis for a better future. These children are the product of early pregnancy that could not prevail on the irate decision of their parents to terminate their destiny. These children are picked from the streets and through the work of this Home they are able to regain and secure their rights back which is something very vital to our society.
Accommodation:
In a host family and at the project centre where it will be available a double bunk bed with mattress.
Qualifications:

« I can say that the best things about the workcamp and this whole experience were the chance of making a real difference to the lives of very needy children. This is an extremely valuable project where volunteers can have a massive impact. Also the possibility of learning a huge amount about a country so different from our own. I learnt ten times as much by carrying out a workcamp than I would ever do backpacking. »
