Volunteer Trip To India


Hi, I am Thomas and I just did 15 days in India. The weather was hot but did it matter to me ??? ..not at all, …. because I had planned this holiday focusing Volunteer Trip to India. It’s a habit for me to devote at least 40% of holiday time to working with less privileged children. I browsed India Volunteer Tourism, looking for an option which allowed my mornings free for sightseeing and social work during the hot desert afternoons of Jaipur. It was a tall order, something like a customised volunteering scheme.

I matched and counter-matched with Volunteer Tours India and found some lovely event write-ups on Shaping Lives of visits in an NGO which worked with children from local slums in afternoon classes. They also gave contact details to assist me in my volunteer effort and suggested low budget home stay options should I be interested. That for me was simply WOW! … I hooked on and my holiday at Jaipur became memorable. I enjoyed the free mornings and looked forward to being with the lovely children every afternoon. Taught them English and basic maths, and learnt some exciting local dance steps from them. I have planned on a fundraising for the NGO back home and I really must suggest that any and everyone at least have a look at this website whenever they have wish to do Volunteer Tours India. You won’t regret it.
