3. The red cross motherless babies home
consists of an administrative block, a
home for the children and a school.
The home houses about 30 children
The school’s attendance is not restricted
to the home, hence children from the
neighborhood attend the school.
Our contact is Matron(mama)
4. Volunteers are to conduct after school
lessons and help the children with their
homework.
To assist the caretakers in carrying out basic
tasks. Eg feeding, changing diapers etc
Specific challenges of the home which we
intend to assist in solving are:
phasing the of-age children from primary
school into nearby secondary schools
Assisting with adoption processes
Organising celebrations to mark holidays
5. To assist the children academically
Fostering of mentoring relationships
which will provide the children with role
models
Assisting the over-worked staff by taking
over simple tasks such as feeding the
children, playing with them etc
6. Well developed children (psychologically,
emotionally, physically) who are fully
equipped to succeed in today’s world.
A mentoring relationship between the
volunteers and the children which will
provide the children with role models
Sorting out challenges of the home as
afore-mentioned such as adoption and
phasing children out of the primary school
into the secondary school.
7. Strengths:
• Interested students willing to
volunteer their time
• Financial aid from sponsors can
be used to provide teaching aids
•Youthful vigour in our approach to
teaching children and preteens.
Weaknesses:
•Holidays ( volunteers living in
distant areas)
•Our youthful appearance may not
command respect from the
children.
•Unserious attitude towards
commitment in many youths.
Opportunities:
•Interaction with the children can
have positive influence on the
volunteers.
•A heightened maturity, an effect
from being responsible for persons
other than yourself
•Rewards at the C2C Gala Nite for
dedication to the project.
Threats:
•Likelihood of strike
•Poor reception due to a lack of
professional training in teaching
children.
•Means and cost of transportation
to the venue.
8. 20 volunteers are required for this project, with a set
of 4 going each day of the week.
