Yearoutindia "Do it all" programs give volunteers
an opportunity to take part in many different types of volunteering
activities within the limited time they have. These programs
are planned and scheduled on a week to week basis and could
involve the volunteer taking part in a community development
project in a rural village one week to spending next two weeks
at a wildlife sanctuary.
Unlike other volunteering projects, this requires a more flexible
approach and ability to work with varying time commitments.
You may choose to help out with patient care in a local hospital
or participate in a medical camp in the interiors or to spend
time with the little kids at an orphanage. Some project can
be long and require contributing from the beginning to the
end of the project.
The
work involved could be in an extremely remote location and
so you will receive detailed briefing and first aid instructions.
Volunteers will follows instructions of the program leader
at all times and respect local culture and traditions. During
forest and wildlife conservation projects the volunteer will
follow forest safety guidelines as the environment is dangerous
and evacuation is difficult.
It must be stressed that volunteers will not have the
opportunity to be alone at any time in the forest as
it is a harsh environment in which you can get lost
very easily. You will be prepared thoroughly for any
eventuality and your skills will be tested on a continuous
basis.
Program
days are full and have early morning starts. Program
activities run throughout the day and some programs
can involve dusk or night trips. You will have time
off between projects to travel and explore India. A
typical Do It All program schedule is as follows:
|
|
| |
A 2 week work program in a rural school. You can get
involved in taking normal classes, assisting the teaching
staff, conducting extra curricular activities like Clay
modeling, Painting, Drawing, Singing, Drama, Dancing,
Group work, games or other similar activities |
|
3-4 days break. You could use this time to catch up with
other volunteers at the base camp, or spend your time
sunbathing on the beach. You could take day trips to various
destinations and checkout the local tourist attractions. |
| |
Spend
2 weeks taking part in forest conservation project in
the Western Ghat Mountain range. |
| |
Spend a week or two traveling across south India and
visit Mumbai, Bangalore, Pondicherry, Madras etc. or
choose to explore various destinations outside the normal
tourist track. |
| |
Work
in an orphanage for a week or two. You can help expand
and maintain residential training and daycare facilities
or help host staff conduct recreational activities,
teach classes and serve meals. If you have first-hand
experience working with children with disabilities,
professionally or personally, your expertise can be
especially useful in this project. |
These
programs offer an enriching and rewarding experience to overseas
volunteers and a chance to work on worthwhile projects.
You will have ample time to relax and rest in-between programs.
Since most programs run during the week, you can return to
the relative luxury of the base camp for weekends.
