Located just 10 minutes inland from the coastal beach resort of Kosgoda the orphanage is home to 35 girls ranging from 5 to 18 years old. Work starts at the home as the girls walk home from school at 2pm for lunch.

The orphaned girls then engage in several routines all of which volunteers can participate in. The girls have to wash, clean and do daily tasks as well as do some study.

Volunteers can interact with them and the staff to help support them in an environment short on family love so familiar to everyone else including the tourists holed up in their big hotels just a couple of miles away!

The girls do have spare time to play in the garden, pray, sing and use the computers that were donated some time ago although they lack software and anyone with knowledge of how to use them!

The home also has sewing machines and some musical instruments so volunteers with skills can spend time teaching either in groups or on a one to one basis. The girls are terrifically friendly and will welcome interaction from volunteers to help make up for their parentless existence.

This project is set in large tropical grounds with many rooms both upstairs and down giving plenty of space for the girls.

Volunteers can also combine this placement with the day nursery just a few miles away where we would have a volunteer transferred from after lunch if required.
