The orphanages in Costa Rica provide housing, education, clothing and food for orphaned children. Many children from extremely deprived families are helped by other institutions setup by local communities and churches that provide them a place for enjoying extra–curricular activities and assistances in studies. New Hope works with institutions like this in San Jose to help these children prosper. We need volunteers to work in these institutions because they are not well funded and are also short-staffed. Volunteers will also provide impetus and motivation and the children really look forward to their presence.
What difference does this project make?
By enrolling in the project, volunteers will work in an orphanage or community supported institution to help the children. These institutions need all the help they can get. Our volunteers will teach the children English and other subjects, look after they by ensuring there are clean, healthy and well feed. Volunteers can also organize games and other recreational activities. This will ensure the children feel loved and cared; this in turn will ensure they will start believing in themselves and their better future.
Highlights of the program
Volunteers will work under the guidance of the local staffs. They will help you settle in by telling you about the institution, rules and regulations and the schedule that you will need to keep. You will help the children with education, look after their health. You will play with the children, counsel them and spend lots of time with them. This is also a project where the services of our volunteers are in great demand, and where our volunteers will also experience great satisfaction helping the unfortunate children.
During free time, there are numerous activities volunteers can pursue, including visiting pristine beaches or going on a hiking to see spectacular views.
Project location
The project is located in San Jose, which is the largest and capital of Costa Rica. The city lies at a mean elevation of 1,161 m above sea level, and enjoys a stable climate throughout the year. There are large numbers of restaurants, bars, cafes, museums and national parks in San Jose. |
