All of Global Volunteers' programs center around projects to enhance the lives of children and their families, mo
st living with very limited resources. You can help with education projects -- either "hands-on" classroom teaching, or building or repairing classrooms, dormitories and other housing. Additionally, many service programs enable you to nurture children in orphanages, child-care centers and clinics. In these settings, simply playing with and holding them and providing individual attention can significantly improve their well-being. You can do this! Please see these details about opportunities to volunteer with children.
"As soon as I reached out my hands, they came with outstretched hands into my arms. I was no longer a stranger. Here, there is still the richest of the rich and the poorest of the poor, as in any other country. However, there is hope in all humanity."
