VIN
has been working in collaboration with various orphanages in Nepal to set up Child Care Orphanage Volunteers program. Every year hundreds of orphaned children wonder
the streets of Kathmandu. A majority of them become child laborers and never
get time to actually enjoy childhood. VIN aims to give them their childhood. If
you were to become a volunteer, you could be placed into one of the orphanages
VIN works with, giving the children the care and support they never received.
Your job would be to teach the children basic
English, and science and math if you can, help them with their homework, teach
them about basic sanitation, put together little fieldtrips or creative
activities such as arts and crafts for them, inspiring them to pursue what they
are good at, and overall ensure their physical and emotional well-being. You
will also be a helping hand in their daily routines, preparing them for school
every morning. Several former volunteers have said this specific VIN program
has changed the way they view the world.

My Frist Experience with the Abondaned children in an Orphanage
When the taxi that I came in when I first got here rolled up to a group of houses in the middle of nowhere, I saw a decently-sized, nice building with a little shack next to it. Obviously, my initial impression of thinking that the decently-sized building was the orphanage...
