Orphanage Assistance

Number of orphan children is increasing in India due to many reasons. Poverty, famine, drought, natural disasters and diseases like AIDs are some of the many reasons for this increase. Social pressure of having a girl child, migrant community without work for many days, adds to the above mentioned reasons. Children are same all over the world and so are their needs. Children need love, care, affection and support in order to reach their full potential and blossom. Some of these children get refuge in orphanages and shelter homes being run by government or non government organizations. Most of the children who reach these shelter homes are distressed, abused and denied of any kind of love at a tender age. Orphanages are often under-staffed, lack resources and hence are poorly managed, providing little room for personal attention to children.

Volunteer assistance in these orphanages will be a very valuable help for the staff and children. Children get an environment of love, care, fun and personal attention, which otherwise is difficult to obtain.
