Incredible experience

I have collaborated twice with the project in India, and these are the best experiences in my life.
There you can feel and test that you are helping every moment. The different programmes are very emotive, you teach and learn a lot with children, enjoy with elephants. With the team you really live an Indian experience, they are always helping you and showing the real Bharat.
If you arrive there open-minded you can take advantage of all things you will feel and experiment, your helping will be better and you will feel in a family.
I strong recommend this experience and I am sure I will go there again, so see you soon!!!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Please, feel your experience as unique, because it really is, and different people live it in different way. And of course, be open-minded always, Indian culture is different to any other.
Pros
  • Really help people to improve their lifes
  • Experience a different culture
  • Learn to do things in different way
Cons
  • Sometimes some people are no actually conscience that the amazing experience

Worth it every single second there

I know it's going to sound very typical but the truth is volunteering in Jaipur, India, opened my mind on so many ways.
One never knows what's going to be the next Hindu festival, how you're going to manage the next teaching session or how you're going to bargain with the next tuk-tuk driver, but despite all the doubts you end up knowing it and getting what you set out to do.
I'm really thankful to the local team (already my Indian family) for helping me on every way possible, beyond their job.
I'm truly inspired by the children and people I've been working with in the social projects, their efforts really amaze me.
Thanks India, see you again.

What was your funniest moment?
When it was my cousin's birthday and we throw a surprise party to her where we all end up dipped in cake!
Pros
  • Lovely Local Team
  • True local projects to support
  • Social union and cultural exchange
Cons
  • Sometimes India might be crazy, so definitely patience is needed.
