Description:
| Projects Abroad operates out of twelve care homes in Tamil Nadu. These homes care for up to 180 children each, from toddlers to adolescents. Many of these children have lost one or both of their parents, or their families simply cannot afford to care for them properly. Some have simply been abandoned in public places, where they have been found and brought to the home. The majority of children cared for are girls.
You will find that at our care placements, there are a number of areas where you can make yourself useful. These could include helping the children with their English, either through giving formal lessons in conversational English or simply by talking to them during your free time. You can also help them with their home work, craft work and other work around the home, as well as acting as a sort of guardian – helping them to get up in the mornings and get ready for school, helping at meal times, etc. | |
