• What is required is a healthy dose of perseverance, patience and love for those who are the most vulnerable in society. The main task is to provide our children with the basic care they need (e.g. washing, dressing, feeding, playing etc.)

• Care givers should work with and learn from other members of the staff rather than try to advise.

• The main qualification would be a willingness to adapt to a new context and provide loving care for the residents.

• Basic care work requires only these qualities and could be one of the most memorable experiences of your life.
