We are currently recruiting ‘Volunteers’ who are able to dedicate 4 weeks or more to El Shaddai.
 
Please be aware that regardless of your qualifications you will need to complete an application form from our website, send us an up to date CRB Enhanced disclaimer from UK applicants and Police check to work with children from other countries. Often these checks take several weeks. Once received by James our volunteer coordinator (james@childrescue.net) you will be informed if your application has been successful and he will communicate with you and answer any questions.
 
As per our volunteer policy we ask for a donation of £500 ($950 or €660) for up to 4 weeks with us and £100 (or equivalent) per week thereafter. This will cover the cost of your airport pickup on arrival in Goa and departure drop, as well as food and accommodation provided by us during your stay in Goa.
 
An Enhanced CRB will be mandatory for UK citizens, prior to being accepted as volunteer. Assistance to obtain the Enhanced CRB can be arranged by us in the UK. Non UK Volunteers will have to obtain Police Clearance (to work with children) from their local Police Authority in their country.
 
People who are sponsoring our children can become ‘Friends of El Shaddai’ and help us while they are in Goa on their holidays. They will need the relevant Police checks and may be selected to help at the discretion of Anita and Matthew . Often ‘Friends of El Shaddai promote us and fundraise for different projects.
 
Visitors are welcome in the Homes between 4.30- 6pm daily. The Shelters have open visiting. As we do not require Police checks for visitors you will not be alone with the children. Many friends help on our beach programmes between 3-5pm on Saturdays at Big Banana Shack CSM road Baga and on Sunday ’s Spotty’s Shack Beach Road Candolim
