The goals of Joy Divine Children's Home:

Volunteer work: Volunteers' major duties include:
• Responsible for day-to-day coordination of the Home to ensure efficient performance of the organization operation.
• Counseling of the children
• Teaching the children
The volunteers will be working from Monday to Saturday, Monday to Friday - 5 hours a day and Saturday - 2 hours.
Special requirements: The applicants should have sociology, counseling and teaching skills. However, we have an open policy and applicants with other ideas to share are also welcome to apply and will be considered.
Volunteers need to contribute/initiate ideas and by that would be promoting the growth of the Home. This is an opportunity for the volunteers to work at a community/grassroot level in capacity building and training in self-sustainability.
Duration of the project: The program will run for a minimum of 1 month and a maximum of 6 months. The program is running throughout the year and the volunteers can apply any time of the year.
