About Program
Rajasthan is one of the most colorful and flashiest states in all of India, and its capital Jaipur lives up to the same reputation as well.
The moment you set foot in Jaipur, you will feel like everything has come straight out of the pages of some epic novel. Majestic buildings, tales of heroic battles, resplendent forts and palaces, and multi-faceted characters – Jaipur is a vibrant amalgamation of the old and the new – highly urbanized pockets and shopping areas have casually sprung up beside gleaming forts and palaces.
Volunteer Work:
1) Food distribution drive - Every night and on Sundays' during the day, volunteers from the NGO distribute leftover food in slum areas collected from restaurants.
2) Teaching - Informal classes for the slum children will be conducted during which sessions on poems, English, etiquette etc can be done. In case a volunteer has any artistic or creative inclination, sessions can be planned according to that as well.
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.
