During these months, most of the orphanages are usually relocated to various remote summer camps. The camp life gives children a chance to feel that they are away from school and on a summer vacation. Therefore, if you decide to travel with us to Ukraine during the Summer time, you will have a unique opportunity to observe both summer camp life and daily orphanage life. While visiting orphans at summer camp, your help will be mostly needed in the following areas: ESL teaching, Arts & Crafts, sports activities, talent shows, etc. If you decide to travel in May or September, your trip will be mainly dedicated to helping out with light facilities repairs, computer and ESL teaching, and simply addressing daily needs requested by the orphanage administration.    In both cases, you will have an opportunity to observe various aspects of orphanage life, to socialize with the orphans in a free and casual environment, to share personal stories, to enjoy campfire songs, and to provide the gift of your kindness, attention, and love to these underprivileged children.  Trip Itinerary An exact trip itinerary will be outlined later, but a typical day while traveling and providing humanitarian services will be as follows: Half day at the orphanage/summer camp location Half day dedicated to participating in a cultural program inherent to the region and to the country of Ukraine. Our Ukrainian partners have provided us with an impressive list of possible places for sightseeing. You will have a chance to experience rich Ukrainian culture by visiting local: Museums Churches Art Galleries Historical Castles Architectural monuments Cultural and Sports Centers Local Enterprises, etc.
