“Being with the children was my favorite part of volunteering. Seeing them every day was such a joy—I will never forget them. I also liked that as a volunteer, I felt like I was a part of the community, and not just a tourist. [To volunteer abroad] you definitely have to have an independent spirit. Come expecting to be challenged, yet come expecting the best time of your life!”
Nurture and care for young children when you volunteer with our Infant Care Project in Santiago, Chile.
As a volunteer with our Infant Care Project, you will be working at an orphanage and shelter for babies and toddlers in the heart of Santiago. Often orphaned or abandoned by their families, these young children are placed in the protective custody of our partner organization in Chile. The children live in the shelter until they are adopted or placed with family members that can take better care of them.
Volunteers in Santiago will be involved in the daily tasks of caring for babies and toddlers. You will feed, bathe, and change them, and you will also play with them and give them the one-on-one attention they deserve. As a volunteer with our Infant Care Program, you will be filling an important role in the lives of these needy children, as well as assisting the hardworking staff at the shelter.
As a volunteer you can:
Feed the children at the shelter.
Change and bathe the children.
Play with the children.
Create and implement games.
Assist staff in the maintenance of the
shelter and in recreational and/or
educational activities.
Prepare and serve snacks and meals.
Work on various administrative tasks.
Our Partners
Our partner organization runs an orphanage and protective shelter in Santiago, Chile. The children at the shelter range from newborn babies to two-year olds, and all have been orphaned, neglected, or removed from their families by court order. Our partner organization in Chile has created a safe haven for these innocent children, but the shelter staff is often in need of an extra set of hands to help.
