Mission:
Friends of the Orphans is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide funds and awareness for Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos (NPH)- Spanish for Our Little Brothers and Sisters. NPH serves orphaned and abandoned children in 9 countries in Latin America: Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Peru, Bolivia, Haiti and the Dominican Republic. NPH's mission is to provide shelter, food, clothing, healthcare and education in a family environment based on unconditional love. A worldwide community of donors, staff and volunteers enable NPH to help the children become caring and productive citizens in their countries. Friends of the Orphans International Volunteers must be 21, and we prefer that they speak Spanish and/or Creole. Volunteers serve for at least a year in one of the 9 NPH homes. NPH offers room and board, plus a monthly stipend (US$50-$100, depending on the home), and access to health care. Volunteers are responsible for paying for their travel to/from the country, medical insurance and language school fees (if necessary). Successful volunteers are cooperative, flexible and extremely patient. They have strong work ethics and are able to work with people from many different cultures.
