Wisdom Wednesday: Martin Punaks,Why orphanage volunteering is not a good idea after all

Martin Punaks, Country Director of Next Generation Nepal and convener of the “Wisdom Wednesday” initiative on international volunteerism in children homes or orphanages offers a picture of the current situation of children living in children homes in Nepal. Evidence shows that there are more harms than benefits in having an experience as an international volunteer in an orphanage home. Of course no doubts that there are excellent children homes run by real social workers but there are many cases of fraudsters who set up children homes as a business and this should not be allowed.
“Wisdom Wednesday” was a weekly interaction on child protection that was held at the end of 2015 and to  be shared on every Wednesday of February here on S4G.
