If you answered YES to a few of these questions then we would love you to join our small group of NAIS volunteers who help out at Hui Xin orphanage every Thursday morning. Hui Xin Orphanage is in the Hong Kou district and is one of the community group’s chosen partner projects. The orphanage is home to around 100 children, most of whom have a physical or intellectual disability. Most of these children have either Down syndrome or cerebral palsy. Our group helps the few Ayis who work around the clock caring for these children. We play, sing, dance with them, feed them and just give them some much needed hugs and nurturing.
We have a great group of helpers, however we have lost quite a few over the last couple of years and are in need of some more volunteers to join us. It really is a very rewarding experience and such a little amount of time to give to helping others in need.
