The elderly home project is understaffed and lack resources to hire any more than what it already has. Despite this, the home is doing a great job of looking after the elderly with what resources they have. However, they would greatly appreciate if you can volunteer in the home and help them take care of the elderly. The volunteers who come with passion and desire to help will help the home can contribute a great deal. You’ll also bring sunshine on to the lives of retired people most of whom are over 60. So join our project now and volunteer in this humanitarian project.
No specific qualification or skill is required. Those with nursing and experience in elderly care will contribute more. However, volunteers joining the project will be given basic training of 1-2 days.
Volunteers will do variety of task during the project. The major work is to care for the old people. You may also have to help in the kitchen, do administrative work, and clean the center. You must also have the passion and the enthusiasm to serve the elderly.
RCDP will look after your entire needs during your project work. We run a hostel on the outskirts of Bangkok where volunteers will initially stay. The place is in a quite, idyllic village about 30 miles away from central Bangkok. During the volunteering period, volunteers stay with a host family where they will be served typical Thai food three times a day. Our host families have been careful chosen and they will offer our volunteers safe and secure place to stay as well as serve meals prepared hygienically. At least one member of the host family will be able to communicate with you in English and you’ll find them very warm and friendly. Staying with a host family is a wonderful opportunity for you to learn about Thai culture and lifestyle. Volunteers joining the project will stay at the orphanage compound with a separate room and share bath room with the host family. You can find the details of the room/food accommodations in the placement sheets. In addition to this, RCDP staff will ensure you’re well looked after by visiting or calling you during your project work to inquire if you’re happy with the project.
The mission of RCDP-Nepal is to encourage international volunteers to contribute in sustainable community development that benefits the underprivileged and extremely poor. By developing the places and the communities, the volunteers are also developing themselves and learning new perspectives and ideas that will ultimately change their lives.
