This is a demanding yet rewarding placement for those who want to care for abandoned or sick children. Volunteers will spend their time interacting with the orphaned children, while also experiencing Moldovan life and culture in the capital of the country, Chisinau.
Children are always the most vulnerable. One of the goals of this project is to give the children a sense of self worth and to provide a creative outlet that they otherwise would not have. Your help as a volunteer in Moldova is needed to offer the children with love, attention and the knowledge that someone cares about them.
The Volunteer ProjectYou may choose to work in either a rehabilitation centre for young children of 0-5 years or a boarding school with an older age group of 7-14 years or help out at both.
The Small Children’s Rehabilitation Centre
The centre is home to 200 children between 0 and 5 years old, some of whom are mildly or severely physically handicapped.
Volunteer activities include:
- Counsel and help with feeding
- Assist with bath time and dressing
- Cooking and cleaning
- Teach and encourage development through play
- Read, sing and play with the children
- Assist in the children’s developmental stages
- Help the staff, assisting with the various activities
