Why I Campaign Against Volunteering In An Orphanage

Here are few points why volunteering in an orphanage is a bad thing:

1. First and Foremost, you must have the appropriate skills. Taking care of children is a very hard thing to do. Unless you've been sufficiently prepared to deal with situations where there are people at risk, it can be disastrous for all parties involved.
2. You have to Think of the long-term impacts of your actions. Once you finish the duration of your 'volunteering', the children still have to stay put in that same place. Influencing them about the outside world and giving false promises, they cause a long lasting impact on them. These children have to constantly deal with people who they have grown accustomed to, only for them to leave once their program is over. Its just an experience for the volunteers, but its the life of the children.
3. Volunteering have become more as a business for organizations, than what they claim to be. Sometimes, children are taken away from marginalized families and brought to these orphanages for the sole intention to bring foreign volunteers and their money. Without any measure of well-being on the children's side.
4. Children are separated from their own communities as they are severely restricted to interact with foreign volunteers. Despite living in the same surroundings, they are prevented from learning about their won culture and traditions.

These are just four of many more such reasons why volunteering programs are immoral in these activities, and why people should avoid them and prevent such industries from forming.
