Orphanage School
This is an orphanage and school for the poor. It is located 10 km outside of the city center in a beautiful rural setting surrounded by rice fields and sugar palm trees. Of the 23 orphans, ranging from 5 to 17 years of age, about 10 of them are blind or visually impaired. They are joined by another 180 children for English lessons throughout the day. There is just one teacher to teach all 200 children in 6 classes a day so a lot of help is needed!. Through WLS International, 40 desks were donated. These are shared throughout the day by all students. Volunteers are warmly welcomed and taken care of as they would be in a family. No teaching experience is needed, just a willingness to help and share. The orphanage has recently been donated money by WLS International to start a mushroom farm so many of the orphans are helping to create their own income! More farming would be helpful in order to grow their own vegetables as well as to generate income. Almost any skills would be useful to help in building this small community so volunteers can help out in different areas. Part of your program fee will go to projects like these.
