These amazing children are ages between 4 - 13, and are gifted with special talents in academic, sports, music, art performance and many more. But lack someone to help build their talents. Besides, there are other children from surrounding communities who would as well benefit from your generous service. As a volunteer working at our Orphanage, you will be doing an important role in the lives of these needy children, as well as assisting the hardworking staff of the orphanage.
