I would like to thank Mr. Avuli for all the facilities provided in this volunteering. the organization hours are from 10:00 to 16:00. The distance between the volunteers' house and the organization is 10 minutes walking. The house is spacious and sunny, but it didn't have Wi-Fi connection, but you can always go to the organization if you need to. Some weekends you will have to buy your meals, but the advantage is that India is very cheap, and you can also find restaurants and street food everywhere. At the organization, children carry out specific activities according to their needs, so you will support them in private classes.

A beautiful project, aimed for beautiful children, that deserve a good education, given their needs, and a certain kind of attention and care. In my stay with the organization Disability, I found a lot of kindness and care among the kids, almost like a family, those older and better equipped always there to guide those that needed more help. I was happy to be part of this experience, and have the opportunity to contribute to a cause I have sympathized the organization as long as I can remember. Thank you for everything! And please don't stop doing what you are doing!

I picked the organization the best of intentions. I wanted to make an impact and get involved as much as possible. Upon arriving at the organization's location, which was quite the journey, no one was expecting me, I was pointed to a bench on the side and understood I had to wait around. After about an hour they told me I was free for the day and could come back later to sleep. I want on about my day and came back, they showed me to a very basic bedroom, the next morning I went back to the organization and again they had nothing for me. I felt extremely useless,. So I politely asked to leave.
