September 10, 2016 – VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY AT A CHINESE ORPHANAGE
Wasatch Adoptions is offering the wonderful opportunity for volunteers (16+) to visit an orphanage in China to meet and interact with children with special needs.
As a volunteer you will have the very unique opportunity to travel to Bejing, China with Wasatch staff and then travel on to an orphanage in central China. Hotel and travel while in Beijing will be planned for you. We have included the option of sight-seeing activities for the last few days of the trip.
We will know ahead of time the age, gender and special needs of the children we will be visiting. The goal as a volunteer is for you to learn as much as you can about specific children including taking notes, video and photos and then helping to advocate for these children’s adoption when you return home.
