The activities you’ll
be doing
The concept of women empowerment lies in overall growth in personality
and talent of a women ie physical, mental and literal development. In
any male dominating society the females are kept at margin and forced
to lead confined lives behind house walls. They are denied to
participate in any activity needed for their self development.
Therefore the ladies in our country are illiterate ignorant and leg
much behind in the national stream of development. We made sincere
efforts in this field and as such following programs have been
constituted for effective launching to achieve positive results.
House contact Drive: Since ladies due to their severe commitment in
household affairs are unable to leave their houses and participate in
any activity this program is constituted which will work on health -
hygiene awareness, budget planning, cultural exchange and other.
Teaching to Girls in their respective schools: The girls are naturally
the future mothers, so their literacy undoubtedly is of utmost
importance and is helpful in finding a way leading towards their own
and posterities progress and development. Accordingly organization has
planned a program for effective execution and obtains positive
results, activities include English teaching, Computer training,
sports activities, cultural and entertainment activities.
A day in the life of a volunteer
On working days, volunteers usually get up and have breakfast before
leaving for their Volunteer Placements. The kitchen team will provide
you packed lunch and you bring it to work area. Our staff will provide
transportation to and from your Volunteer Placement if required. You
will probably spend about 5-6 hours at this Volunteer Placement.
Evenings will be filled with opportunities to learn about the local
culture and customs, field trips to places of local interest,
discussions with experts on local issues and others. Evening
meal-times provide another exciting chance to enjoy authentic food
provided by host family/our staff cooks. The food is delicious and
healthy and takes full advantage of local cooking traditions. The
evenings and weekends are free time, to relax or explore the local
area. Volunteers often travel to other parts of the country at
weekends, and the staff who are all from the local area themselves,
are always happy to make recommendations.
