This placement would suit... those wanting to work with communities in the clean air of the Indian Himalayas doing all sorts of community development work and some exciting group excursions.
 Based in a beautiful region of North India and with the Himalaya Mountains as a backdrop, the Himachal Pradesh programme is an excellent placement if you wish to discover regions of India often overlooked by other backpackers. You can volunteer in a number of different community projects including education, orphanages and childcare. With each of these community volunteer placements, you will be able to work with and help under-privileged children. The Volunteer Placement Your volunteer placement will be interesting and varied as well as utilising your skills to the communities' best advantage. International volunteers have made a direct impact on the region and the work with the Indian communities has benefited many disadvantaged people. Your volunteer placement could involve any of the following work: -
Teaching placement
Teach the children English as well as creating a playful, interesting environment for them. -
Childcare volunteer placement
Work in a day care centre. These centres aren't the crèches we're used to in the West - they are for ensuring children and mothers are receiving enough care and support. You will spend your day giving personal care and attention to the children and help feed them etc. -
Special Needs School volunteer placement
Help out in an understaffed special needs school. Assist teachers complete assignments, organise activities for the kids and visit the children's home to help families cope. Project Location The project starts with an overnight stay in Delhi. The group spends 3 days in Jaipur for orientation and sightseeing. After this, you all board an overnight train for Palamphur. Palamphur is a quaint town high in the mountains where you'll be based for the majority of the programme. Accommodation & Meals Accommodation and meals are included. You will stay in a large stone house overlooking a stunning landscape dominated by glaciers and peaks of the Himalayan mountains. The food is amazing and there is plenty of it.
