How can i find free volunteer work for an orphange ?

Question

My fiance works for the airlines and so my flights are VERY afforable. I would pay for my stay somewhere. I would just love to help babies, kids, and or teens. Anywhere really, whether in the states or internationally.

Answer 1

Orphans usually become either wards of the state they live in or they end up with relatives.  Try contacting the Department of Health and Human services for your state, you might not need to travel to help orphans.

Hope that helps!

Answer 2

How about this one http://www.orphanage.org/

I know friends that were going with the Maryknoll to teach in different parts of the world. I also read about an orphanage built by the Jesuits in Tanzania. http://www.catholic.org/diocese/diocese_...

It might be helpful to contact f.e. the Jesuits in general and find out if there are different orphanages they run in the world and how you can volunteer there.

Going with an order might help you in terms of housing and safety issues in a foreign country.
