Volunteer Childcare and teaching Projects in India

India childcare volunteer positions include feeding, changing and bathing the children, but, most importantly, playing with them and giving them quality time and affection. During their time at the orphanage the children are taught in English and volunteers are needed to help with activities in the classroom and to improve levels of spoken English. Most of the orphans are adopted by Western families and may be anxious or unaware of what to expect, so often the simple presence of international volunteers and their interaction with the children can be the greatest benefit. Children living in foster care often return to the orphanage for education, so you can teach and work with children up to the age of 12.
