Work with NGOs

I met Anita today, and she told me about her volunteer work with NGOs. She enjoys the work that she does. Usually, she works with children who are picked up off the street or sometimes for petty theft or running away from home. Or, sometimes they just go missing from their parents.

Frequently, the children are gone within a short time span. It could me a few months or a few days before they leave. They are often "locked up" in small rooms where they can't really go anywhere, so they don't like it.

I am used to organization like the Boys and Girls club, where short term work is frowned upon. Here, I may be able to get in simple interactions. I look forward to following through on this.
