2) Volunteer in Orphanages
Extreme poverty, growing problems of HIV/AIDS, and different social problems make many kids orphans in Ghana. These lovely kids are in urgent need of parental help and support. In Ghana , Shape Lives Foundation, does support many orphanages through its programs to continue providing the much needed care for the orphans. Unfortunately, most of these orphanages are resource poor, under staffed, and are facing lots of problems to run their programs. Help is needed in everything from cooking and serving food to the children, to assisting with their basic education with sports and English lessons.
Role of Volunteer
The main responsibility of a volunteer at any of the orphanages is to spend time with the children and give them the attention and love they need. Volunteers will organize games and activities for the children and can help teach in the schools associated with the orphanage. Working in an orphanage requires motivation, energy, patience, and resourcefulness.
Skills/Qualifications Needed
There are no specific qualifications required for the orphanage project in Ghana . However, volunteers interested to work for orphans must have love for the kids and willingness to share their time and compassion with patience and high flexibility.
