The Rajasthan volunteer programme in India is a very unique project. Living and working in the Rajasthan Desert, you will be involved in a community development programme either in childcare or education and will help local community to prosper.
Help Teachers
Volunteer in schools to give much needed support to local teachers. Class sizes in India can be extremely large; by teaching in Indian schools, you will help to free up teachers. As a school volunteer you can also teach English and Maths to Indian children.
Child-care
Volunteers work in local child-care centres also known as Aanganbari. The centres provide day-to-day care for young children and also serve pregnant women. Volunteers will be ensuring maximum attendance by the children of the area to these centres as well as giving personal care to the children.
