Volunteer at Camp Joshua in Tanzania

The role of LOHADA has three parts: Protection To protect children and the elderly against social-economic destitution caused by the death of their care givers, prostitution, neglectful behavior, divorce or separation, and sicknesses such as HIV and AIDS. The elderly are also being cared when they have been socially excluded from their families, community or society cause by the superstition myths in Shinyanga region of Tanzania. Rehabilitation This is done by our social workers, based on counseling and capacity building to the destitute parents to whom their children are cared by LOHADA. We also conduct seminars and trainings to parents through the support of other institutions, i.e. Health, financial institutions. Families are visited regularly by our staff to ensure safe and nurturing environments. Education LOHADA provides education to the all children cared for by our organization through Camp Joshua and Camp Moses located in Arusha. CAMP MOSES pre primary school that cares for children below 7 years old while Camp Joshua cares for children 7-17 years old. LOHADA cares for children under 17 from the Arusha and Shinyanga region and the Elderly in the Shinyanga region. Camp Joshua hopes to initiate and develop cultural exchange between Tanzania and overseas countries by developing opportunities between the organization and volunteers from abroad. Because they do not have sufficient teachers to teach our children volunteers are necessary to support the existing staff. As well, they do not staff enough manpower on the non teaching staff to clean the children, cook, play with, and simply keep the children busy and happy. Volunteers can assist by doing the following tasks: TASK 1 Teaching (mathematics, computer applications, social sciences, and other discipline subjects) TASK 2 Playing sports and games with the children TASK 2 Teaching the kids to keep themselves clean and healthy TASK 5 Creating educational activities TASK 6 Helping to feed the kids Other tasks that you may be requested to preform outside of your core duties: When volunteers are not busy in the school they can help out in the garden or help to tend to the animals that live there. There is also lots of opportunity to help with administration, helping to mark tests, general office work and even planning events and outings for the Camp
