VOLUNTEER
Our volunteer program was established in 2012. Volunteers are highly appreciated for their unwavering support and the hope they generate in the children and the Centre during their time with us. Volunteer efforts directly empowered and encouraged our children to understand that they are special and can be successful. The hardest part for both parties is to say “goodbye!” at the end of the program.
The volunteer’s goal is to make the effort to touch a child in the most important ways through loving, caring, encouraging freedom of expression, enhancing a sense of each other, and teaching the children, the caretakers and the teachers, while respecting the culture and working with the resources available here. Each volunteer brings unique skills that contribute meaningfully to the positive experience of our children, staff, supporters and other volunteers. Henry and Dorice family and MCE would like to invite you to experience this rewarding journey.
