Activities & Shift
We plan activities together with volunteers before or after arrival. The activities are mainly based on the thematic areas we are working on. We however connect volunteers with other institutions if the volunteer has a special interest or profession. For example, when a volunteer is a doctor and interested to work at a hospital near us, we are able to arrange. If interested to teach at in schools we also arrange.
Rules
We don't have very strict rules. We however request volunteers to be able to tell us where they are going when need to visit other places while staying with us so that we advise better on how to travel and any other important information
