Volunteer in Education and help for children program is a very challenging and rewarding field that demands a lot of patience, care, love, understanding, open mind and a willing heart. A volunteer’s responsibilities depend to our organization and partners (orphanages, preschool and child care) needs. Tchewai children’s sponsorship program aim at the provision of education opportunities, access to health services, safe environment and nutrition to orphans and children from disadvantaged backgrounds.
In most cases volunteers work abroad in Togo involves participatory:
At the orphanage and in the preschool
- studying with children,
- babysitting, cooking and feeding,
- helping the younger children to learn how to use the toilet, maintaining hygiene,
- Assisting students with their homework.
On the child sponsorship program and in the Tchewai office
- Administrative management (identification of new cases, assembly of sponsorship files, search for sponsors and others ...) of the sponsorship program for disadvantaged and orphaned children of our organization.
- socio-educational monitoring (at school and at home) of sponsored children
- help children in the association's neighborhood to do their homework
- organization of extracurricular and creative arts workshops for children
- organization of extra-curricular activities and creative arts workshops with children
One of the most wonderful opportunities that working with the children can give you is the chance to share your love and skills with children. Many volunteers have deemed the work life changing. By offering attention and love to the children, you are making a real difference in their lives. Whether you have a background in childcare and education or simply enjoy sharing love, a smile can offer something meaningful to the life of the children deprived of love and care.
In addition, the dialogue and interaction with local staff provides an opportunity for you to share ideas and build morale. In some placements you will quickly pick up on the daily routine while in others you may need to be more creative in coming up with ideas.
