Not just for Gap Students!

As an older volunteer I really enjoyed spending my time in the volunteer house with young students from other parts of the world as well as getting to know the local staff at the house and on the programme generally.
The volunteering work was well supported and can be tailored to any expertise that you might bring. For example, my group focussed on health care for a couple of days and we had a great morning with the children at the school washing/de nitting hair along a production line whilst singing local songs followed by a mime session on best practice in teeth brushing!
There are basic language lessons available at the volunteer house which were helpful and I also really enjoyed the early morning yoga sessions on the rooftops above Udaipur.
My only negative from the trip is that 2 weeks was not long enough to follow through on some of the learning for the children.
Overall a well-organised fun and beneficial trip both for the children and for me.
