Volunteer Stateside

Host Families

Every time an individual comes to the States, CCCI must locate a family to house them for the duration of their stay, which can vary from a week to several months, depending on the nature of the procedure or training session. Families hosting children are responsible for oversight of hospital visits and basic home-care after surgery; and families hosting doctors arrange transport to hospitals for training.

Hospital Sitters

During recovery, children have to stay in the hospital for several days to several weeks. Volunteers for playing with the children at the hospital or for standing post during surgery to recieve doctors' reports are extrememly helpful.

At-Home Play

In the case of a long at-home recovery, volunteers to take the children out to the park or reprieve host families for an evening offer a change of scenery for the kids, and are a great help for families.

Transportation

For doctor/nurse training visits, daily transportation to and from hospitals is required.

Interpreters

We always need interpreters fluent in Spanish or Amharic to be available for phone translation and hospital visits.

Office Work

CCCI can use any secretarial talents for the amount of administrative work that must be done to run this organization. If you can write newsletters, help with computer issues, prepare financial reports,organize, you are most welcome.
