Orphans Program in Marrakech

 

Volunteers help to improve the quality of life for children in a variety of homes, centers for disadvantaged children and disabled centers in Marrakesh. The staff simply do not have time to provide the individual care and attention that the children require. There is a great deal volunteers do to contribute to the general care and support of the children. Children range in age from 6yrs to teenagers. The daily work depends a lot on the ages of the children you are working with. Volunteering may involve assisting with the day-to-day practical care of the children; ensuring they get up on time and preparing their meals, as well as playing games, organizing activities and trips, and offering the children the vital one-to-one attention which they crave. The older children often require help with homework, support with developing social and life skills and you may also find yourself teaching some basic English lessons. Volunteer help not only stimulates the children but also alleviates the stress felt by the overstretched staff.

Help teach at local schools and spend time with orphans children  when you volunteer with our Teaching and Orphans Program in Morocco.

On this project, you will split your time between several local schools, Al orphanage, and other community-development program sites. At the schools, you will assist teachers, coach sports, and simply be a positive presence in the children’s lives. At the orphanage, which houses children who lost their parents , you will help children with their homework, play games, and provide assistance with theater productions and other extramural activities. Your energy and presence will help the students develop intellectually and creatively, and will make a lasting impression on their lives.
 

Thus, many students are in school for only two or three hours per day. To help maximize the quality of precious school time, volunteers work as teaching assistants in the classrooms or as sport coaches to keep kids off the streets. The schools have poor facilities, but the children are eager to learn.
