To be volunteer in Grace Home:

Grace Home is always happy to receive some help from volunteers. They are welcome to the orphanage whenever they want in the year.
Each volunteer will be considered as a member of our family and will become like a parent for all helpless children.

Volunteers can be involved in Grace Home by several ways :

  • In the orphanage, volunteers give their time to take care of children, play with them, help them to do their homework and bring all kids presence and affection.
  • In Saint Grace School, volunteers are teachers for students from 4 to 7 years old. During the school time, they provide help in some basic english lessons.
  • Finally, volunteers can bring some administrative services in order to support the management of the orphanage.
