This volunteer project is in Hua HIn; in homes and care centers run by local families that want to support children facing the worst difficulties. At most centers you will volunteer at, you can expect to meet between fifteen and fifty children, all with huge smiles and lots of affection to give. As a volunteer, we expect you to give them love and affection back; these children need it most. 

It's important for us to highlight that the social orphanages and the centers where you shall be volunteering at have specific needs depending on the place and day in question, which means that you should be very flexible. As a volunteer, you may expect to help in tasks like childcare, child supervision, activity planning, helping with the center's activities, and in general spending time around children and supporting the activities that will be organised for them.

The children are these centers are between four and eighteen years all; most being either orphans or children who live near the city, but due to poverty and the remoteness of their family's location, stay in the center. Additionally, most of the children at these centers come from either vulnerable ethnic minority villages, that lack things like education or basic sanitation, or from Myanmar, a country that they escaped as refugees. 

Always keep in mind that your main concern as a volunteer shall be spending time with children. This may be through teaching them English, helping them with their school homework, organising activities with them, playing didactic games with them, painting, or the like. Everything you will do as a volunteer will translate into a better life for these children, as it will help them improve their confidence and gain necessary skills. Additionally, you may also help give maintenance to the centers where these children are, assist in the cleaning, assist in the cooking, or fix some appliances there.
