Several new community organizations have been established in India during the last decade. They are making great progress in fighting poverty and creating sustainable development. These organizations give the Indian people new tools and hope for the future. Asia Horizon works for improvements in health, education, social services, environment, women’s and children's rights and rights and care of older people. When you volunteer to work with centers for outreach-training, informal education, vocational training and women's development, you can contribute to the local community and provide its people with new skills and opportunities.
Volunteer’s Activities
As a volunteer, you will participate in community development activities such as integrated farming, environmental education and health education. Technical work includes designing programs, building training programs, assisting in community research and arranging teaching and training manuals for others. You will get some basic training in cooperation with the rural people.
Project Qualifications
There are no specific qualifications or experience required for working in the community development sectors. You must be at least 18 years old and should have a basic knowledge of spoken English, as well as a strong desire to work for the benefit of poor, marginalized, disadvantaged and vulnerable groups of people, to help them develop skills, knowledge and competence.
Food and Accommodation
Asia Horizon arranges a separate room along with a communal bath for volunteers in both the host families and hostel accommodations. During the first week of language and cultural immersion program, you will stay at our hostel in Bangalore where cook prepares a variety of Indian food (Nan, curry, Dal, chapatti, rice and pickle). During your volunteering programs in Bangalore, a host family provides your accommodation and food. However, volunteers joining orphanage program stay with the children in a hostel. The families are very friendly and hospitable and look forward to learn more about your culture and country. They provide local food three times a day. Our country coordinator will welcome you at the airport and introduce to the host family and the host organization. You will also have 24/7 access to our contact person and phone number of our coordinator.
