The organization was an experience that triggered a lot of learning in me. I am very grateful to Govind and for all his support. I had the opportunity to meet wonderful people during my stay. The accommodation, the food are great too. Thank you the organization

I've been working at the organization for more than a month and it has been an unforgettable experience. This voluntering project is the opportunity to really dive in the indian society to understand its culture and challenges at a deeper level. the organization actively works for underprivileged people to provide them education and support for a better future so, because of the wide range of area they are working on, the job opportunities are also wide and everyone can add their pinch of salt to help the women and children. Also, the staff is taking care of volunteer in a incredible way! Thank you all! ❤️

I think you need to be very clear about hours. When I started I was asked to do twice the 20 hours advertised, and asked to go to centres etc which would have taken up the entire day. The pricing also hadn't been updated to reflect the new cost of the guesthouse, so I also had to renegotiate this at the end. Please bear in mind that the fee is essentially rent and meals. The work the organization does is good and I felt there was an opportunity to make an impact. But it also didn't feel like a conventional worldpackers experience.

It was a great experience, I would recommend this volunteering to anyone who is interested in getting to know the Rajisthani culture and having a social impact in the community. Host is very welcoming and you will feel like home when getting there!

My stay in the organization has been the most enriching and life-changing experience of my life. I had no expectations at all, my task was providing both Maths and English lessons to Indian students who had few or non other chance to study at any other educational center, and eventually, I was the one who has learnt the most. Since the very beginning I'd felt the warmth of a family, either by Govind and women, the other volunteers or the workers at the guest house. The students and teachers are incredibly shiny souls :) I came back to my country as a stronger, more mature and critical person
