All volunteers are asked to commit to the following mission statement, philosophy, and principles.
In gratitude for the grand love that Jesus Christ gives us, we decide to unite ourselves and form a community to care for needy children and to promote the development of a productive society of devout Christians.
- Honor the Mission Statement of the Farm of the Child.
- Lead a moral life that honors the dignity and equality of each individual, using the Catholic Church as my guide.
- Participate in activities agreed upon by community such as Mass, Prayer, retreats,
and spiritual events that will nurture more personal and communal spiritual life.
- Offer my gifts and energy to form community and to adapt to the changing needs of the community and project.
- Strive to be patient, caring, and flexible in response to the challenges of community life and cross-cultural living.
- Be accountable to myself and my house community for responsibilities such as cooking, cleaning, and constant communication.
- Spend time and form friendships with the children on the Farm that witness the love of Christ.
- Complete my twenty-seven month commitment to the Farm of the Child knowing that the children and my fellow volunteers are counting on my full participation.
