Volunteering in India
Mainly, we have seven volunteer project all over the country. Our main focus is to work for women and children in several different ways through our social initiatives. Presently we our working on basic teaching, orphan child care, pre-schooling, street children education, women empowerment and sports volunteering programs at various rural and urban locations of India. These programs are dedicated for renovation of a fear free, educated and healthy life for every one through international volunteer’s support. Our program’s focus is the volunteer work with the local NGO as well as creating a unique and enriched volunteer experience.
All these program placements involve volunteers benefiting communities through transferring their skills and knowledge by the means of education and vocational studies for the expansion of possibilities of skill development and to get the advantage for better opportunities in life. The involvement of volunteers is by providing education and day care to the children and empowerment of girls and women along with the upliftment of disheartened, poorly managed malnourished and under-sighted community acting as a catalyst for a positive change which directly impacts the lives of serving community in meaningful ways. Further to that volunteer encourage enthusiasm to bring hope to the people they serve while motivating local workers to do the same.
Our Social Initiates
General Education -
Teaching Volunteer Project
Though there exist many institutions including Government organizations engaged in the sector of education to promote education and make the new generation literate. But with every institution in the sector of education there exist a number of problems and the one is scarcity of teaching staff to cope up with the growing population. The scarcity of teachers could be noticed in primary level schools run by local Government in rural areas. Since the very base on which progressive higher education is dependent on primary education and it’s a strong educational foundation is of immeasurable importance to the social development of any community. Therefore to assist the teaching staff in Government Primary Schools in rural and remote areas. We decided to take help of international volunteers so that solid base of education at primary level is constituted and the children are prepared to accept challenge of higher education fearlessly in future.
General Education -
Street Children Education Project
In and around Indian cities many communities not possessing own land and dwellings are residing in temporary tents/huts by the roadsides. These communities being forest dependent are now leading miserable lives and making their ways to major cities in hope of survival giving rise to road side dwellings. The children often roam aimlessly with or without work in the streets, therefore they are called Street Children. The ill-fated children are also forced to follow footsteps of their elders. We opened a school near one of such Basti aiming at to motivate the street dweller parents to send their wards to school run by us.
Orphan Kids -
Orphanage Volunteer Work
Mentally Challenged Children -
Orphanage Volunteer Work
The rigid social customs are the main source of orphanage rise. The carnal appetite is a natural phenomenon of living beings. Not getting the right match at right time for a girl or a boy lacking sex education promotes illicit relations between opposite sex. Such illicit relations give birth to a child not lawfully acceptable to society. Secondly; if a girl is raped against her will also produce a child not acceptable to society. Some time a child borne with certain mental or physical disabilities is also not acceptable to parents. All such off-springs are mercilessly thrown at doorsteps of orphanage. Since all such children are creation of God and are a part of this universe, they deserve similar love, affection and proper care as our own children do. Therefore we take the help of international volunteers to assist the orphanage staff in discharge of their duties. This serves the dual purpose; one- the children get much of love, affection, right care and another- more and more lovers of mankind are accumulated.
Day Care Centers -
Child Care Volunteer Program
The Aanganbaris in India are known as day care centers. Aanganwaris in rural areas have been created by the government to take care of the children from their early childhood. Day Care Center (Anganbari) programs are implemented in villages. The centers are responsible for providing play way learning environment to the young ones and to look after their health and hygiene. The day care centers in rural areas often equipped with minimal resources and are often under-funded, under-staffed, and poorly managed. As a result, the community looses confidence in day care centers, failing to make use of its resources. Mothers and children receiving services are either provided with little or with no attention and care.
Physical Education -
Sports Volunteering
India has very less number of sports development coaching centers and these available centers are only in selected cities and a very few schools are conducting and promoting sports development activities. But in the rural areas; schools are completely far away from this type of coaching & centers. In these areas mostly schools are governed by State Government. So, due to lack of financial resources schools do not teach or develop sports. Therefore most children do not have any of physical education. Many people lacking vital coordination skills and an appreciation of the importance of exercise.
Computer Education -
Women Empowerment Program
Health Awareness -
Women Empowerment Program
Due to prevailing male dominating attitude in Indian Hindu families irrespective of all caste, creed and clans the lives of female counterparts are often unfairly overburdened, filled with social obstacles and blatant discrimination. Of the most discriminatory practices, refusal of a woman’s education is one. Parents’ expectations of their daughters, in terms of education and employment, are generally much lower than of their sons. As a result, young girls are often denied enrollment into school or taken out early, forced to care for their young siblings and assist with domestic responsibilities. The impacts of gender inequality cause women to feeling submissive and accept extremely low self-esteem. The unequal gender roles can be witnessed in all areas of life, from education, to the work place.

In this program we are working entirely for betterment of the underprivileged, suppressed and vulnerable community. Dharamshala is one of the fastest growing cities of Himachal State. And in search of employment (manual labour) people from all over India make their way to Dharamshala giving rise to slums.
