China Special Needs Children's Program Trip code: CHN5
Due to economic circumstances, many Chinese parents are unable to afford the specialized education and care needed for children with physical or mental disabilities. The special needs of these children range from physical disabilities to mental, emotional and behavioral disabilities. Rustic works with community centers in Xi'an that care for these special needs children who are unable to attend regular schooling. Because these centers are understaffed, volunteers are needed to assist with the day-to-day operations of the centers, such as serving meals and cleaning. Volunteers are especially needed to help the staff to teach the children life skills and play games with the children. Most importantly, volunteers can help these children feel loved and needed in spite of their special needs and difficulties.
All volunteer programs start on the first and third Monday of each month.
