We are a home for HIV infected and affected orphan children who have been rejected by their near ones due to discrimination, death of a parent, or their family´s financial problems.

If I have to sum it up in one word: Amazing! Had a great week at the organization. Everyone was so welcoming. Even before I got there, Sunil has communicated with me. Sushila and team welcomed me with kindness and amazing food. And the children are just the most beautiful souls I've met, they call me Didi (big sister) and despite some language barrier, they still try their best to communicate with me and make me feel at home. I actually cried when I left. One thing to note when they say you need to come with an open mind, they really mean it. And when you do, it will be a memorable experience.

I had a really good experience at the organization. Unfortunately, I got sick at the beginning of my stay, but everyone was really kind and helpful. I arrived on the day they were celebrating a Hindu holiday. They welcomed me with flowers, and I immediately felt very welcome there. We visited the temple together. After that, the kids dressed me in a sari (traditional Indian clothing for women), and later we went to a Kalash Yatra. Sushila and all the other volunteers were very kind to me. I stayed in a private room, which was 15 km away from the orphanage, which was a little far.

My experience at the organization in Jaipur was truly wonderful. My main goal was to share meaningful moments with the children, and I was able to accomplish that. They are incredibly sweet and full of light. Each one of them taught me something unique, and through them I learned deeply about the true meaning of life. Sushila and the entire team are exceptional people—kind, committed, and inspiring. During my time there, I supported the project by helping with children's activities, as well as photography, videography, and fundraising. Good food and hospitality.

As the star suggested, it was just okay. It is fun and wholesome to meet the kids. They are cute and all. However the adult can improve in as there was little engagement and no scope of work or agenda discuss so the day often went by with sudden plans or days with nothing to do. Other then that future volunteers should expect boy's accommodation to be at minimum standard and it is quite far from any shop or city facility. Food alternative is a limitation if you are not a vegetarian. But all of these thing are just my personal things, not the Home Care problem

Firstly, I volunteered with a friend and with my friend's support it might has been different experience rather than volunteering in the organization alone. We're greeted with a warm welcome by the helping staff. All the girls speak fluently in English. They also tried to support us and didn't give any chance to feel us lost. After meeting with Sushila we roughly discussed how we could help them accounting everything we're able of. You'll be expected to help with creating the content and promoting the organization. Work with the children is less important. Food is fantastic! Accommodation is quite hectic.
