Program description: |
|
|
Maseru Save the Children is a place of saftey for young children who are abandoned or removed from their families. The aim is to reunite the children with their immeadiate family or to find a foster home for them. The project consists of sleeping accommodation for the children and a creche. The home is poorly funded so facilities are basic but adequate. Volunteers have an active role in caring for the children: they teach at the creche, help the older children with their school work and look after the emotional and physical needs of hte children. An interest in child care nad development as well as a vocation for medicine would beneficial. Volunteers live in mud on the grounds of the home, which allows them to spend a lot of time with the children.
