Come take part in our mission to love and care for disadvantaged kids.
Care for children in orphanages and care centers through daily presence, activities, and love. No special skills required—just a steady heart and willing hands. Click here to see a day in the life of a volunteer.
Volunteer for as little as 1 week or up to 3 months. We’ll help you prepare, pack, travel safely, and live and work with other volunteers.
Volunteers cover basic program fees to help with food, lodging, and local staff support. It’s affordable, and every cent goes toward sustaining the mission.
You don’t need special training or experience to make a difference—just a willing heart and a desire to serve. By becoming an OSSO volunteer, you can bring joy, companionship, and a sense of belonging to children who need it most. Whether you're playing a game, leading a craft, or simply sitting with a child and listening, your presence matters more than you can imagine. If you’ve ever wanted to do something meaningful and life-changing, this is your moment.
