GNEM Orphanage and Care Volunteer Work in INDIAGood News Evangelical Mission are volunteering with children is one of the most wonderful experiences, whether in a developing country- INDIA. Throughout the India, there are vast numbers of children who are orphaned or neglected, and in need of love, care and affection.
Care placements are a chance for volunteers on a college vacation, gap year or career break to really make a difference to children who would otherwise have little or no mental stimulation in their lives.
People are often unaware of the impact they can have on another person's life, with even the smallest gesture. Spending as little as one month working in an orphanage or care center, a volunteer can have a hugely significant and positive impact on the lives of underprivileged children.
Care volunteers don’t need to be qualified or have previous experience. The only qualities that our volunteers need to possess are compassion for fellow human beings and a desire to improve the lives of those with domestic or physical circumstances less fortunate than their own.
GNEM Orphans and Volunteering
As a care volunteer working with children in orphanages, you would be helping the kids to learn life-skills that parents would normally teach. By getting involved in the day-to-day running of an orphanage - making sure children are fed, washed and dressed, and paying them personal attention - you will be making a really positive impact on their lives.
There is always scope for any talents or interests you may have to be utilized. Art & crafts or music are always popular activities and many care placements have outside areas where sports and games can be played. Many volunteers also help to educate the children in personal hygiene and social skills.
Opportunities exist in some orphanages for our volunteers to be more involved in the ‘teaching’ or ‘medical’ side of care work. You may spend your afternoon helping the older children with their homework on their return from school, or if you have the relevant skills you can administer first aid to any children in need. The work volunteers do can be challenging at times but the strength and resilience of the children will inspire you to persevere.
Your day may start early to help get the children up and give them breakfast, however, you will probably finish early too or have several hours off at lunchtime before returning to play with the children in the afternoon. Many volunteers like to take some of the children out on a trip from time to time. An afternoon walking around the market can be a revelation for some of the children, who rarely get the chance to travel more than a few miles away from their homes.
GNEM Children and Adults with Special Needs and Volunteering
Good News Evangelical Mission are volunteers work within a number of care homes with people with physical or mental disabilities such as AIDS hospices and schools for the handicapped, the blind or the deaf. Conditions are often basic and staff heavily overworked. Volunteers are desperately needed to provide another pair of hands, helping some of society’s most vulnerable people to lead a full and rewarding life.
Volunteers assist in improving the children's competence and awareness in social areas, such as understanding and following the rules of society, adjusting their behavior to the situation, problem solving and understanding others. Helping the children in these areas is vital in order to give them the best chance of living independently in the future.
While a volunteer’s impact will be beneficial to the placement, in turn the placement will often prove to be beneficial to the volunteer. Having responsibility for others and developing personal relationships in a new cultural setting has been shown time and time again to develop individuals. In our supportive role, Our staff is used to seeing volunteers returning home with more self-confidence and a greater understanding of themselves and the world around them.
GNEM Volunteer in a Day Care Center
Volunteering in a care center, you will be working with children of different ages. You will help with a variety of activities such as art, games and songs, and assist local staff to develop stimulating new ideas to interest young children in learning. Any encouragement you can offer goes a long way towards building a child’s self esteem and confidence.
Volunteers can get involved in working with street children in a number of our destinations. You could help to prepare free meals, provide personal hygiene advice, teach literacy skills or possibly take the children to the beach for the day, giving them a much needed break from their daily routine of begging on the streets.
GNEM Orphanage Volunteer Work with Children in India
Volunteering abroad in an orphanage in India is a truly worthwhile and memorable experience that will stay with you forever. Whether you are teaching some English, singing songs, playing games, or coaching some cricket, you will be very popular amongst the kids and the local staff. Volunteer work in an orphanage can be challenging at times, but seeing the smiles on the children's faces is incredibly, inspiring and rewarding.
Good News Evangelical Mission Volunteering with Orphans and Children with Special Needs
The orphanages and care centers in India that we work with are located in South India. The centers cater for orphans, children in care, and children with disabilities aged from 2 - 18. In many cases, your day will begin early when you will be required to help the children get ready for school. You might have the middle of the day free or you may want to stay on to help out with other social care activities. In whichever volunteer care project you find yourself, you need to be ready for a challenge. Many of the children are desperate for attention and there will be many present who have health problems or who require special attention due to disabilities.
Care Project in India
For the younger children, there is often a nursery attached to the home where you can help or perhaps you might even go with the children to school and teach a little English. When the older children come home at 4.30pm, you can help with their homework or organize games and activities for them before dinner.
Some care centers are more inclusive in their approach, teaching both life skills and handcrafts to the older children. As a volunteer, if you are good at art, crafts, and sports or even gardening there's a lot you can do to help on a social level. Interaction, friendship and support are the most important things you will need to be able to offer the children we work with.
This project is available for two weeks if you don't have time to join us for a month or more. This project has been selected by our local colleagues as being suitable for short term volunteering for both the host community and the volunteer. Although you will gain a valuable cultural insight and work intensely within the local community please is aware that you may not be able to make the same impact as someone volunteering for a longer period.
If you are eager to get more involved in work within the local community, you may be interested in our Conservation & Environment project. Our volunteers are helping to encourage conservation and sustainable organic agriculture in local villages and schools.
Projects Ideal for Gap Years, Career Breaks and a Unique Travel Experience
Volunteering on one of our projects gives you the opportunity to become more than a tourist; to become part of a community to live and work beside local people, understand their world and make friends for life.

With blessings from the Lord Jesus.

Good morning all of you at Bethesda. I take this oppotunity to greet you all and wish you a blessed month of April in your important ministry and the plans for the weeks to come. I also wish you a blessed Holy week with breaks and opportunities to meditate on the important ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ. Think of his sufferings, the cross, his death. Give him praise for his resurrection and victory over sin and death. This will refresh your spirits and give you new strength.
