Numerous deaths resulting from AIDS have caused a dramatic increase in orphans in the country of Uganda . Parents dying of AIDS often leave a legacy in the form of an epidemic resulting in HIV-positive/AIDS-infected children coming into a hunger-stricken world where their parents usually die before they can care for their own children. Global Crossroad's partner orphanages in Uganda provide not only housing for these children, but also a chance at an education and hope for the future.
This orphanage-based volunteer project in Uganda offers these children the support and devotion they deserve. Volunteers can perform a variety of much-needed services such as teaching Basic English and other subjects (i.e. math and science) to these children in need of care, compassion and an education. As a volunteer, participants can also help in organizing other extracurricular activities such as tours, games, art-related activities, singing, dancing, and other activities enjoyed by the children – simultaneously learning something of value in the process. Volunteers are also encouraged to help the children prepare for school – assisting them with their homework and lessons for the following days' classes.
