💼 What the programme involves
The projects host several children from different background and area of Indonesia. Normally they are brought to orphanage by community or their own parents. The children are given responsibility into daily task from morning until evening, no matter the ages. At the moment, they are hosting children from 3 years old until 21 years old. After finishing the high school, they are given option for working or going to the university. Normally the orphans will be no longer staying in the orphanage. Nevertheless, they still get basic life support from the orphanage until they can be independent financially. In managing the children, the care taker taught them to take care of their fellow friends. In this case, they will help each other in doing their responsibility. The orphanage also educates them to be an independent through giving them on entrepreneur skills and an opportunity to practice their skills. Nevertheless, formal education is the most important for all of them. They pray, play, learn, laugh, and support each other.
The role of the volunteer will be assisting the care takers in supervising the children. The volunteer will involves in their daily activity such as wake them up, helping in school preparation, creating activity in leisure time, and learning school lesson. Moreover, the presence of volunteers could give them motivation in practicing their foreign language knowledge. Intercultural learning in the form of dialogue, music and games could give the student better understanding to learn about another culture from other country.
