Full Description

Description

The project consists of three homes for children ages 3 to 13 years old who have been infected with HIV or who are suffering from AIDS. Each home houses around ten children, all of them with different stories. The project is growing and plans to open a new home for older children in the near future.

Volunteers will help the children with their daily tasks and to organize extracurricular activities. They will need help with schoolwork as well as recreational fun. The volunteer should plan to be creative when down time occurs with the children. You may spend time at all three of the houses. The volunteer will be a positive figure for each child to look up to.

 
Cost Details
Fee includes housing, food, medical insurance, in-country staff support, pre-departure orientation, in-country orientation, arrival pick-up at airport, and 24 hour emergency support.
