Experience Volunteering Now!
The word orphanage has a negative connotation in the volunteer and tourism industries. It has been driven by some unfavorable experiences, while orphaned children have become tourist attractions and thus exploited in some way. However, we should realize that black market orphanages are entirely the wrong way to go when it comes to volunteering.
Volunteer programs involving children must be carefully evaluated and researched. Rizing Starz International have programs which involve children’s homes or orphanages. These programs have significant short and long-term benefits where it affects not just the children, but the volunteers as well. Volunteers will experience their lives changing in the most substantial way.
As a volunteer, you will spend most of your time actively participating in the lives of these children — educating them, playing with them, or just providing a kind and compassionate shoulder to lean on. An average day entails you to organize a range of activities for the children, such as outdoor team sports, dance and drama classes, or hosting classes, so as to improve their language and literary skills.
Every program is unique, however one thing should be constant: you must have a deep empathy for the neglected children and their current living situation. When you choose to do volunteer work it should be because you want to help out and your intentions should always come from a good place — you want to be able to help the less fortunate and you want to give back to the community. If you have the heart and desire to help these children in need, then volunteering at an orphanage could be your ultimate experience.
Another advantage of volunteering is, it allows you to travel to a country like Ghana, Africa where Rizing Starz International is focusing on. If you want to give more and give back, consider contacting Rizing Starz International now!
