We are looking for volunteers with Intermediate Spanish and experience of working with children or adolescents.
A clean criminal record is required.
The Home needs volunteers to work a minimum of three months and work daily 8-12 and 2-6pm.
The girls need a sympathetic ear, a helping hand with their everyday tasks and good assistance with their homework.
We are also seeking interns who can complete their internship at The Girls Home, whether they are studying psychology or therapy, this is a great opportunity to gain experience.
We ask for an understanding of the Madre Albertina Nun’s order and to respect their philosophies but we do not ask for our volunteers to be Catholic.
Our volunteers should be sensitive in their dress sense and cover up adverse piercing or tattoos and not wear skimpy clothing.
We ban any drug use or arrival at the home intoxicated and ask volunteers not to inflict their Western values on the girls or home.
Any hobbies or interests that the girls can engage in at the home are appreciated, such as dance, art, music, sport etc.
Volunteers generally stay with a host family where you will have your own room and 3 meals a day. This generally costs around $200-$300 a month. There are also plenty of hostels in the town.
