It is a good program. I really enjoyed working with the children at the orphanage. Accommodation was fine and the food was really very good. Shake Hands staff was very friendly and helpful. The cook was really in good in making food. Overall impression is that the program is making a good effort in helping the volunteers achieve their goals.

Orphanage Work in India

The rigid social customs are the main source of orphanage rise. The carnal appetite is a natural phenomenon of living beings. Not getting the right match at right time for a girl or a boy lacking sex education promotes illicit relations between opposite sex. Such illicit relations give birth to a child not lawfully acceptable to society. Secondly; if a girl is raped against her will also produce a child not acceptable to society. Some time a child borne with certain mental or physical disabilities is also not acceptable to parents. All such off-springs are mercilessly thrown at doorsteps of orphanage.  Since all such children are creation of God and are a part of this universe, they deserve similar love, affection and proper care as our own children do. Therefore we take the help of international volunteers to assist the orphanage staff in discharge of their duties. This serves the dual purpose; one- the children get much of love, affection, right care and another- more and more lovers of mankind are accumulated. 
 
The activities you’ll be doing
With our program we seek to assist the orphanage in helping the children. The volunteers will participate in the daily routines and can contribute with many things, just by being caring and affectionate in the work with the children. The volunteers will work with the children from 0 to 6 years old. There are also groups of mentally challenged children; the work will especially be with the mentally challenged, because this is where the Orphanage staff seriously needs help. Mentally challenged children need special care and attention, but the Orphanage does not have enough manpower to support  this cause. Volunteers will assist the Orphanage staff and contribute with special attention to the children.

A day in the life of a volunteer
On working days, volunteers usually get up and have breakfast before leaving for their Volunteer Placements. Our staff will provide transportation to and from your Volunteer Placement if required. You will probably spend about four hours at your Volunteer Placement. Evenings will be filled with opportunities to learn about the local culture and customs, field trips to places of local interest, discussions with experts on local issues and others. Evening meal-times provide another exciting chance to enjoy authentic food provided by host family/our staff cooks. The food is delicious and healthy and takes full advantage of local cooking traditions. The evenings and weekends are free time, to relax or explore the local area. Volunteers often travel to other parts of the country at weekends, and the staff who are all from the local area themselves, are always happy to make recommendations.
