STAESA's orphanage program provides a great opportunity to do social work. Volunteers/interns work very closely with children aged 8 months to 17 years most of whom lost their parents to HIV/AIDS, and some of the children found themselves in the orphanage because both parents are unemployed and very poor. The big smiles and love of these children towards volunteers/interns leave lots of memories in the minds of volunteers hence making it difficult to depart from them at the end of the program.

Together with local volunteers at the orphanages, volunteers work very closely with the children. The volunteers teach basic and conversational English. Activities include games, drawing, feeding, washing the children and other creative activities. Other subjects can also be taught if you have knowledge or experience in those areas.
