    Description

    CHILD CARE VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS

    Uganda has an extremely high number of children living in poverty and many of

    these vulnerable children have lost one or both of their parents as a result of the

    HIV/AIDS epidemic. Volunteers in the Childcare project in Uganda are placed in day

    care centers, nursery schools and kindergartens to assist local staff in the day to day

    running of these centers. All of these centers are extremely under resourced and

    volunteers play a key role in ensuring they operate effectively. Volunteer activities vary

    across the different centers, however typical tasks include, educational activities

    and basic teaching of English, Math, Health/ Hygiene, Reading and Writing. Other

    activities include play therapy and games, dancing, singing, arts and crafts, as well as

    assisting with feeding and daily chores.
