Volunteers’ benefits 🏆🏅

Volunteers get to learn about how organisations and education opportunities for women truly change society. There are many opportunities to learn and practice your Hindi with the other teachers and girls. You get to experience Indian culture and participate in things such as “Aarti” because this school is in the town right along the Ganges River! If you are there during any holiday, you will be sure to be included in the celebrations.

What are the available activities during free time? 🚴🚣🦒

While we don’t recommend women to leave the school campus on their own, if there are multiple volunteers or if they are accompanied by a local, they can go to the local town, see the Ganges. We can arrange for transportation to and a stay in Delhi where they are able to explore on their own.
