Review

Actually, I visited there for study tour purpose for about 10 days. It was a batch of about 10 Japanese youth. And there we did only 1 day lecture in the primary school. Based on this experience, I'll write about CECOWOR. Anyway the children in the school was so cheerful. In south India, not only the children but also adults were eager to communicate with foreigners. So we must have warm support of the people, especially CECOWOR staffs.

Some primary school teachers can speak English well, so you can discuss with them how to perform the class in the school ; The place for volunteers to stay is next to the school, so you have easy access to teacers. I think 1 day was too short to perform the class, but if you stay longer and communicate well with teachers and CECOWOR staffs, you can somehow manage the language barrier.

Apart from volunteer, head & founder of CECOWOR, Mr.Susairaj was a big man not only for his body but also for his humanity and experience, so if you stay, listening his story and discussing with him must be the precious experience.

If there is a chance, homestay will be goog opportunity for learning the life of the local people. During the study tour, I stayed 2 nights in the village. We could see how agriculture work was done, how the people maintain their house, when the children gather and play and so on.

I think that the program will become flexible. It means that it varies according to the situation of staffs and people. And they will coordinate the program according to your preference.

During your stay, you will surely feel the children's energy, people's hospitality and the enthusiasm of the founder, Mr.Susairaj.

Would you recommend this program?
Yes, I would
