Volunteering with this program has been one of the most meaningful and unforgettable experiences of my life. Working with the children was not only heartwarming but also deeply inspiring: their energy, resilience, and joy reminded me of the simple beauty of human connection.

The program was well-organized, with an incredible team that truly cares about the impact they’re making. From day one, I felt welcomed, supported, and part of something bigger. The activities were both fun and educational, allowing us to contribute in creative ways — whether through games, learning sessions, or just being present with the kids.

Each child left a mark on my heart, and I’ve come away with memories that I’ll cherish forever. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to give their time with love and receive so much more in return.

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this beautiful journey. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

I had a great experience working with Volunteering with India. The kid’s program was very great! The staff are kind, attentive, generous, and willing to offer you help or answer any questions you may have. This program is great for families and solo travelers who want to give something back to the community who has hosted you. If you want the full experience, then you should be prepared to learn as much as you teach. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to have a life changing experience in India!

First of all, the best thing for me was that there were no anxious moments. And I was able to teach very motivated and bright children and get to know India deeply. I think one of the strengths is being able to interact with participants from various countries. My coordinator and driver were very helpful and introduced me to popular foods and places in our free time. The family at the guesthouse took good care of me about my meals and daily life, and we had a great time together. Even a single female student can try this program. thank you!

I recently spent 2 weeks in volunteering teaching Children both English and Maths and has an amazing experience throughout. The kids that I taught were unbelievably friendly, and were so fascinated by not only the content I was teaching, but also finding out more about myself, and my life. Volunteers provide an extraordinary opportunity for these children to experience lives that they would otherwise not know, whilst also being able to gain attention and education that they would be unable to attain.

I started my voluntering the day before the Holi celebration. On my first day I joined the programme that I signed up for. The day of the festival all the volunteers joined in festivities at the shelter for boys who lived on the streets. I was impressed with the facility and the eagerness of the boys to connect with the volunteers. My request to change programmes was granted. I felt that my impact as a seasoned teacher would be meaningful in this well run centre. The class teachers were supportive and the learners very responsive.

The question is of course how much impact can be made by a single volunteer within 2 weeks. The answer is that we are like beads in an armband and that the impact is collective and not individual. Brainstorm should be done on using the volunteers optimally, to make them feel useful and structure the program to have continuation of themes.

It was an amazing experience! The children are lovely, well educated and disciplined. I was very impressed about the organisation of the school.
The staff is very helpful and supportive.
I was helping the teacher with english and maths. Every week you get the schedule for the entire week and you know which topic will be covered during english or maths.
I spent the holi day at the school playing with the kids and the staff and it was an unforgettable experience! I Highly recommend this project.

I loved the one month I spent with this program. The staff and the children were amazing. It certainly was the experience of a lifetime and I will probably think about this trip every single day for many many years to come. It certainly will be very hard to top. I haven't been bored for one second and would love to stay much longer if I could. I will miss you all and your nice smiles and the future volunteers that will come will be very lucky to get to spend time with you all.

India is such a special place, revealing the best and worst aspects of humanity and human life. Certainly for me, India constantly provokes a personal question about ones values and strength of conviction. Can you put your money where your mouth is? Can you walk the walk?

Volunteering in India is one of the most moving and rewarding experiences I have had in my life. The volunteering programmes offered by Volunteering with India (VWI) are safe and robust. There are many diverse opportunities here to make a difference, however big or small.

The organisation was created with the pure and sincere intention of making a difference to those in need. VWI has offered countless opportunities for those in need to receive from those who are fortunate enough to be able to give.

Volunteering experiences are made much more special by a generous and earnest welcome into the heart of the culture and the city of Jaipur, the community; the people and their families. Volunteers are looked after well, but most importantly included into a family and community for a true and real experience of India. An unforgettable experience - one I hope to repeat many times again.
