My volunteer experience in India was one of the most incredible and transformative experiences of my life. 🇮🇳❤️ I'm deeply grateful to Worldpackers and Impacto for their support and care from the very beginning. I always felt welcomed, safe, and supported. I had the opportunity to truly immerse myself in Indian culture, experiencing the food, sari, dance, and mehndi. More than volunteering, it was a journey of learning, connection, and transformation. I leave India with unforgettable memories and a heart full of gratitude. ❤️

My girlfriend and I stayed here for a month. Overall, we had a lovely experience. Hasmik and Nutan made us feel very welcome and provided continuous support. We worked in the school and after-school centre, and we had full control of our schedules. So your experience depends on what you want and the initiative you take. We enjoyed the provided homecooked lunch. However, dinner is usually ordered in. You also always have access to breakfast items. The accommodation is a nice and livable space. We would both recommend this place (but don’t come in summer if you cannot take the heat).

I have spent a month here in Jaipur with the organization and this experience will stay with me forever. From the moment I got off the plane I was supported and looked after by Aplav and his incredible team. The school has a wonderful atmosphere and the children are utterly inspirational. I was introduced to so many different new experiences and felt so safe and at home here. The accommodation is spacious and in a great location, and the food provided was absolutely delicious! I am sad to be leaving such amazing, friendly and caring people, but I am sure I will return!

I had an amazing experience volunteering. Everyone was willing to help with anything I needed. Beyond that, working with the kids was incredible. They brought energy and joy to me everyday. I loved teaching them math and English. They taught me just as much about teaching, India, learning, and bringing a positive attitude to life. I can't thank Hasmik, Aplav, and the entire team enough for the life-changing experience. Jaipur will be missed. I recommend anyone considering going goes because you won't regret it.

I volunteered for one month at the organization Dream School, and it was a deeply meaningful experience. I felt welcomed from the start by the school team and the other volunteers, creating a true sense of community. The project has a real the organization on an underprivileged area, and Aplay and Hasmik are incredibly dedicated and inspiring. The shared apartment was comfortable and well located, meals were fresh and delicious every day, and cultural activities like yoga, Hindi, and cooking classes enriched the experience. Even after finishing, I know I'll always be part of this project.

Volunteering with the organization was a wonderful experience; during my time in Jaipur, I helped with teaching at Dream school and at the organization after-school; I'm deeply grateful to all the organization and Step Beyond Borders staff members for their support. I definitely recommend this experience to those willing to live an immersive experience in Indian culture! Cheers

This experience has been truly amazing and enriching. I had the honor and the luck to teach and be with those amazing kids. I contributed in giving them concrete means and hopes for a better future, something they should have the right to have. the organization and Step Beyond Borders NGOs are really doing an amazing job in creating education opportunities for kids that don't have any, therefore I'm grateful to have taken part in its many different activities. Also the accomodation, the food and the other volunteers were really nice and lovely, everything was as described and better!!!

This was one of the meaningful experience that I ever done. Dream School is a really place of help of underprivileged children. The accomodation and the meals were ok with the expectations. I would also like to point out that India is not easy for a European visiting for the first time. The cultural shock was strong for me, and it took me some time to get used to it. That said, it was absolutely worth it. Besides volunteering, I met wonderful people and experienced moments I will never forget.

It was a wonderful experience. The place is very comfortable, clean, the coordinators are nice and ready to help you as well as all the people involved. Outside of volunteering, I had time to go on tours and activities with the association and was very helpful in connecting with this wonderful country, India. I recommend SBB to everyone. Thank you!
