Help Overstrand Child and Youth Care Centre with 10 volunteers for abandoned children in need of care and protection
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
Our facility wants to partner up in the community and surrounding areas to obtain individuals willing to take a child in on weekends and/or holidays. We need host parents to create a safe and loving family environment in order for the children to also be exposed to life within a family context. Many children do not get the opportunity to go to their biological families on weekends or during holidays, hence why we are desperately looking for families to reach out if they are willing to tackle this project with us. There is a lot of processes that goes with this, therefore we are humbly requesting people to reach out in this regard ASAP.
Helpful tips
Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
- 6. Avoid wearing expensive jewellery: it could get damaged, lost or stolen.
- 7. Ask, ask, ask! If you’re worried about something or concerned about your safety in a certain situation, ask the person in charge.
