Daily life at the Orphanage varies and is dependent on a number of factors; current projects in action, number of volunteers at the home, funds available at the time of your visit, time of year (the wet season hinders outside work). Don’t worry you will be kept busy!
Volunteers usually help at the local school one day per week and there is always work to do in the kitchen garden. There is usually some light construction to assist with and daily tasks at the home, such as; cleaning washing and cooking. During high season the home bakes bread, cookies and delicious banana loaf which is sold at the local market to help raise funds for the home; this is an important income for the home, assisting in their quest to become self sufficient. Volunteers who are able to teach arts and crafts or music are also needed.
The home has just opened their new coffee shop and volunteers will help teach the children working there English and hospitality skills, if you have any skills in the area of hospitality let us know so that we can work this into your daily schedule.
