TANZANIA / Good Hope Orphanage, Clinic & School
Come to Arusha, Tanzania and contribute to Good Hope by volunteering at the Orphanage, teaching at the pre- and primary School, assisting in construction of new projects, working at the medical clinic, or helping to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS. The Good Hope Orphanage, Clinic & School is dedicated to taking children off the streets and providing them with the basic necessities of life (food, love, and shelter), along with skills and education to provide them with a brighter future. The children, the administrators of the Orphanage, the School teachers, as well as the volunteers all share and learn a great amount from this unique opportunity!

There are a number of ways that you can volunteer while staying at Good Hope, including:
Orphanage: Assist the staff with the cooking, cleaning and taking care of the children; play with the children, teach them new games, introduce them to various learning activities, and help with their homework.
School: Assist the teachers with classes, mark homework, and help them to enhance their lesson plans. Normally, volunteers split their time between the Orphanage and School.
Construction: Assist contractors with some of the projects that are happening on the School grounds. Projects may include building the new wing, school classrooms, medical clinic, etc.
Medical Clinic: In 2011, Good Hope worked with Just Us Friends Inc., a non-profit organization in the USA, to build a medical clinic on the school grounds. The clinic needs doctors, nurses, medical students and other medical professionals to volunteer at the clinic.
HIV/AIDS Awareness: When you are not working at the Orphanage/School, spend time working with the “Fighting AIDS in Tanzania” organization to educate people about AIDS, and help those with the disease learn to better take care of themselves. This includes education on safe drinking water, nutrition, hygiene, health, etc.
