A. You aren't required to have any specific skills. All we ask is that you have a heart for children and desire to Make A Difference. However, the following are useful:
Health Education, AIDS Training, First Aid, Construction, Gardening, English, Reading, Jewelry Making, Art, Singing, Dance, Comedy, Acting, Sports, Journaling, and of course a creative mind!
Q. What age do I have to be to volunteer?
A. We mainly accept volunteers who are 18 years of age and older. Exceptions are allowed if a candidate has volunteered abroad before and lived on their own, but they must present us with a consent form signed by both parents.
Q. In what countries can I volunteer?
A. We work in Zambia, Tanzania and India. See our Volunteer page for our schedule. The schedule shows where we are accepting volunteers and what dates.
Q. What nationality do you have to be to volunteer?
A. Although, we are registered in the United States, nationality doesn't matter. We accept volunteers from around the world.
Q. Is every person accepted into your volunteer program?
A. No. Not all applicants are accepted. Our program isn't right for everyone. In order to join our program, you must prove to us that you are able to handle living and working in another country. At times you will have to ride a public bus, use a hole as a toilet and go without water and electricity. Not every country is like your country and that is the beauty of travel. Your lifestyle will change. You must have an open mind and the ability to work with another culture. You must also be willing to try new food and a NEW way of doing things. Most importantly, you must be healthy and not need to be taken care of while caring for the children.
Q.How long can I volunteer?
A. Most people volunteer for 2 weeks to 2 months. However, if you would like to volunteer longer, you may, depending on the dates.
Q. How many people do you accept per month to volunteer?
A. This isn't a tour group. We only accept 1 - 6 people at a time. Our work isn't about #'s. It's about quality.
