AMT Position Statement: Orphanage Volunteering

Association of Massage Therapists

In this position statement, the Association of Massage Therapists (AMT) of Australia clearly states that it does not endorse orphanage volunteering, referring to the positions of  the Better Care Network, UNICEF, Save the Children and the ChildSafe network. The brief statement provides rationale behind this position and “recommends that massage therapists focus their volunteer efforts on initiatives that support communities and aim at keeping children within their families and kinship groups.”
