Accommodation: Depending on the number of volunteers present during your time here you will either stay in a local family house - a secure and very comfortable house with all amenities, or you may otherwise stay in a volunteer hostel with all other volunteers present at the time, again this will be a very comfortable place to relax and review your experiences.

Food: All meals are provided - Indian cooking for the majority of meals with the occaisional western dish thrown in for good measure!

Training: All volunteers setting out on an adventure with us receive pre-departure training to help you prepare for the experience ahead. This training covers all the areas you need to think about before you pack your bags. It gives you time to focus and prioritise, and provides you with the knowledge and information you need in order to have a safe, fulfilling and enjoyable adventure. On arrival at your project you will also receive orientation training which will help you to better understand the local culture and support you as you find your way around this new country. On your return we will also support you as you readapt to life back home. We encourage you to keep in contact with us and consider opportunities for you to stay connected to the work you have been part of with Agapé. In addition to all of this training you will also receive a comprehensive welcome pack full of useful information on your project, the country and the culture, as well as detailed safety and communication lists.

Support: Agapé Adventures respects that each person is unique, and thus has different needs, and we endeavour to meet those genuine needs as effectively as we can. All volunteers are supported by Agapé every step of the way. You will be allocated a line manager to assist you in the day to day aspects of your adventure and staff at Agapé’s main base who will be available 24/7 for any out of hours emergencies. All staff involved in supporting you, work together to provide coordinated, personal and professional support throughout your adventure.

Airport Collection & Drop Off: When you land into the airport we will make sure that someone is there to meet you and bring you to your project base. We will also provide assistance in returning you to the airport at the end of your time to help you take back all those gifts you've picked up along the way!

About Program

In this unique project we are looking for those with some medical knowledge and experience - be it that you are studying medicine or a practicing doctor or nurse. Here your skills will join those of a dedicated team meeting the needs of those suffering from Leprosy, AIDS / HIV & those ignored by society who are unable to access medical care.
This is a great project to make a practical difference, and is also ideal for those on medical electives as you will gain experience in a rare condition.
During your time you will also have opportunity to assist in other areas of the project work in the local region including social care & support for young women in the red light district, food distribution & education for street children & also elderly care.

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.
