Highlights
By teaching the kids, playing with them, preparing their daily records, getting involved in preparing their dishes, helping in washing their cloth and some administrative work, the volunteer is exposed to a form and level of humility that is humbling, revealing and self gratifying.
Volunteering in an orphanage facilitates adaptability, flexibility and preparedness while facing and hearing heartbreaking stories of the children\'s backgrounds. Volunteers may also assist local staff and caretakers in daily work to help them run the orphanage in a better way. One can also assist in the office of the orphanage if he/she thinks they can contribute to make them more organized and run in a more efficient manner.
