Hello everyone !
My program was about teaching english for 2 weeks in a school in Faridabad, a smaller city near Delhi.
It was such a touching and eye-opening experience for me. Everyone was so kind to me and they really appreciated my help. Communicating with the teachers was a bit difficult a first as they don't know english at all though. However, there are other ways than word to communicate and we evantually got through that difficutly.
My host family was living at 5 min on foot away form the school which was very convenient. Delhi was around 1h15 min by tuk tuk + subway which is fine as I didn't plan on spending all my afternoon visiting or doing shopping there. As for the host family, they were very nice and caring to me. The only thing I might suggest is for them to try to share at least the first and last meal with their guest. They never ate with me but overall, I had a great time at their place. They gave me a lot of food, and each time it was homemade and Indian meals.
Global crossroad has been overall helpful before and through the program. I especially got a lot of relevant information beforehand. However, they were less present once the program has already started but,as eveything went smoothly, it wasn't such a big problem for me.
To conlude, it was a good experience and I would redo it for sure.

Would you recommend this program?
Yes, I would
