Volunteer
Volunteers
can make a significant contribution to the life of the children and the
operation of the Adullam Orphanage. If you are interested in undertaking a
volunteering session, please contact Laura
Timothy at the Orphanage to help make the arrangements. Prior to doing this you should consider the following:
-
You
need to arrange and pay all your travel, accommodation and other
living expenses.
-
There
is no organized program, or set routine, for volunteers - you may
choose to do whatever work you find fit. There have been many great
volunteers, who only come and spend time with the children on
weekends. Having patience, a sense of humour, a willing smile, being
enthusiastic and being a resourceful self-starter are essential
elements for all volunteers to possess.
-
You
should be prepared to talk about your faith and belief (or lack of)
because the children will be curious and may want to ask you
questions. As a volunteer it doesn’t matter if you’re not a
religious person or not, what is important is how much you
give to the children in terms of your time, energy and motivation.
-
Volunteers
are encouraged to share their orphanage-visiting experiences, photos
and guidance for future volunteers. So don't forget your camera!
Volunteering
at Adullam Orphanage can be a life-changing experience. Contact Amanda
Lubbers to find out more about their volunteering experiences.
