Volunteering

At Emmanuel a lot of the daily chores and activities done with the kids are performed by our short and long term volunteers. We receive both male and female volunteers in all ages.

Usually a volunteer will be assigned specific tasks according to needs at Emmanuel and skills of volunteer, although many volunteers carry out a variey of activities while being here.

the most common areas where we use our volunteers are:

- Early childhood stimulation ( ages 2 - 5 )

- Children with mental and behavioural problems

- Clinic and medicine supervision.

- Farm and Green house chores

- Sports, crafts, music and recreational activities with the children.

- Maintenance and Odd jobs.

- The school

It is the volunteer coordinator who in cooperation with each volunteer will decide on their individual activities and we are open to suggestions from volunteers with a specific skill they would like to share with the children while being here.

Long-Term Volunteer

Long-term volunteers are an important resource to Emmanuel. It usually takes about a month's time to settle in and get into the "groove" of how the orphanage operates. Those that stay longer than 6-months are referred to as "long-term" volunteers whereas those that stay less than 6-months, but longer than 30-days are considered "short-term" volunteers.

If you wish to come to Emmanuel as a couple or as a family, please contact our volunteer coordinator, Katja, before beginning the application process. Reading the volunteer guidelines in the section below will be a great help to planning your trip.

The school

In order to determine the area you will be of greatest impact during your stay at Emmanuel, your application will be reviewed by our staff to see what special skills or talents you possess. Many of our volunteers do not have a specific skill or trade they wish to perform while they're here and even work in different areas while at Emmanuel than they do at home. Once you arrive, you will sit down with a staff member to discuss the areas that they feel you will work best in while here.

Short-Term Volunteer

A short-term volunteer as defined by Orphanage Emmanuel is someone who wishes to stay between 30-days and six (6) months. If you wish to stay for a longer period of time, then you would be considered a "long-term" volunteer. Before beginning the application process, please do the following:

Becoming a Volunteer Visitor...

There are those people that wish to come to Emmanuel for less than 30-days for various reasons. Some who come will love the experience they receive and come back for another short visit or even come and stay longer. Experiencing Emmanuel first-hand is the best way to learn how we operate on a daily basis. If you wish to come as a "volunteer visitor", please contact our volunteer coordinator, Katja, at emmaneul@libdata.com before beginning the process.

The school

Her work in Denmark has equipped her with many ideas and skills to use at Emmanuel even though the challenges of her work here differ widely from Denmark. While being here she is going to work with the special needs children, specifically supporting one girl in a special-needs class. Besides, she is coaching a girls soccer team and hanging out medicine to the girls.
