Emmanuel Children’s Home in Gimcheon (South Korea) Announces Inaugural Volunteer Stay Program
Emmanuel Children’s Home is an orphanage located in the city of Gimcheon in Gyeongbuk province, South Korea. Emmanuel is home to 115 children ranging from newborn babies to college students. Emmanuel is looking for adult volunteers (age 18 and up) who are interested in helping orphans learn English while also learning about Korean culture from a unique perspective. Volunteers will spend a week living on-site at Emmanuel Children’s Home from Sunday, August 7, 2011 – Saturday, August 13, 2011.
Korean Kids and Orphanage Outreach Mission (KKOOM) will provide on-site training, support, and English translation assistance for the volunteers during the Stay. KKOOM is a US-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that supports orphans and orphanages throughout South Korea. Emmanuel and KKOOM hope that this Stay will promote cultural understanding and friendship between the volunteers and the children at Emmanuel.
See the Info Packet for more information and application details [pdf]. The deadline to apply is June 30, 2011.
