VOLUNTEERING AT THE CHILDREN WELFARE HOME

Volunteers at the CWH

Over the years we have had a number of volunteers working with us and our children. On our part, we can say that working with volunteers has proved to be a culturally and spiritually rewarding experience for us. They have helped us in many ways, by teaching our children English, talking about their culture, teaching our children new games, or helping the management with administration and planning for the CWH. There have been some cases, when our volunteer helped finding the best doctor for our ill children or bought medicines not affordable by our Home. But, we have said our part. Let us share some volunteer views with you.

'Many things are golden and each in it's way, can help to brighten up your world and make a better day!! It was a great experience staying in an orphanage in such a great country like Nepal. I enjoyed spending my time with the children and realised they really deserve the attention!!'

Kim worked with us for several weeks. She currently works for an HIV awareness raising project in Mombasa, Kenya.

'Sharing my days with these children was a great experience for me. I`ll never forget the first time when a five-year-old came up to me, looked in my eyes, and took my hand to lead me to the kitchen for my morning tea. Then all those chats and games with the older ones. It was definitely worth the time that I spent at the CWH.'
