Volunteer India Himachal Project
The Himachal Pradesh volunteer programme is a perfect choice if you want to teach or care for children in India. It includes plenty of excursions and sightseeing trips so you will get a real taste of Indian culture.
Voluntary WorkVolunteers are needed either to work in primary schools run by the government for underprivileged local children or to work in local day care centres for pre-school children with the aim of monitoring and ensuring the healthy growth of children. The concept of pre-school is a new one in India.
LocationHimachal Pradesh is a small, mountainous state in North India. Bordering Tibet to the East, the region is dominated by amazing views of the snow-capped mountains and glaciers of the Himalayas mountain range. The region is also known for its pleasant early summer climate and is best visited between March and November to experience sunny warm daytimes, however the nights get cold.
Accommodation and Meals
You will be staying with local English speaking families in a private room in homestay accommodation during the orientation week. During the volunteer placement you will be staying in a small purpose built complex, in private twin share rooms with ensuite bathrooms. The complex has beautiful views of the surrounding mountains.
Meals are included during the orientation programme and placement period. People throughout India tend to eat without silverware, using either their hands or pieces of chapatti (Indian flat bread). In rural areas, people also tend to eat sitting cross-legged on the floor as opposed to at tables.
