Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here. Learn more about how Global Volunteers is promoting ethical volunteering.

Absolutely fabulous!

India is a wondrous place full of beautiful contrasts. I found the people to be welcoming & kind. The children stole my heart & I am looking forward to returning to them next year.
Our team leader & his wife were very supportive & helpful in helping us to acclimate to the neighborhood & to learn more about Indian culture.
