| • | Visitors need to provide their own transport. We can provide instructions for drivers and taxis on request. It takes about 1 hour by car to get to our place from the city center. |
| • | Taxis to our Home are expensive and you will need to reserve them for the whole day as there are no taxis out of our village. |
| • | You will not be permitted to feed, bathe or change the young babies as these are the nanny’s duties and are very important for the wellbeing of the baby. You may be able to help feed the older children (above 2 years) if they are familiar with you. |
| • | As casual visitors, your duties will be limited to playing with the toddlers, singing and reading to them. Balloons, bubbles and chalk for sidewalk drawings are appreciated by the toddlers. We have a playground, sand pits and a swimming pool for when the weather is appropriate. |
| • | Please advise the Home at least 36 hours before your proposed visit so that the staff can plan your visit. |
| • | If you are ill, please do not come, as even minor infections can spread rapidly through the children. |
| • | As the Home is only a small facility, please limit your group to only 2 -3 visitors at a time. |
| • | Larger groups wanting to do outdoor projects are welcome. Please contact robin@hopefosterhome.com. |
| • | A map to our Home is available here as are directions in Chinese. |
