Description: To provide love & mental support and improve emotional situations of the children in needs - via join activities, games and trainings

Every volunteer is responsible for 5-6 children (the names could be chosen by small slips of papers with names or by personal request after few – 2 or 3 – days). The (secret) “angels” need to make small surprises to their chosen ones (e.g. little presents, extra programs together). Children should find out in few days-time who is their secret angel. After that, “angels” continue to pay special attention to them during the whole camp (e.g. studying and playing together)

Type of Work: Providing support and care to orphans and improving their emotional situations and their level of acceptance with daily routines at an orphanage home called Kingdom Life Children’s Center. A good-hearted woman resident in Atteridgeville realizing the urgent need for caring for the children in the area with no other place to go has established this home. Initially time and effort was invested in establishing, registering and organizing the affairs of the Home. The main focus currently is to create better opportunities for the children to develop in a stable and caring environment, and to improve their life skills. Forty-four children and counting aged between six and nineteen reside at the Home on a full time basis. It is of paramount importance to us to render services and programs.
