Due to extreme poverty, gender bias towards males and ill health, thousands of children in India are given refuge in community-care centres and shelters run by various non-governmental organizations. The children who find themselves at one of these facilities have often come from tremendously difficult and traumatic circumstances, leaving them distressed and detached from the joys of childhood we so often take for granted. The aim of this wonderful program then is to assist in helping with, and caring for these neglected children, and the assistance of international volunteers is desperately needed. You as volunteer will participate in the daily routines and can make a great contribution just by being caring and giving the children some much-needed attention. By being there to offer care and compassion, volunteers are making a huge impact on the lives of these wonderful children.

- Help to care for the children
