Khan Family Home

There are always a lot of varied and interesting projects to help with here, and for those willing to put in some effort with good spirit and humour there's plenty of knowledge and friendships to take away with you. My hope is that you'll leave learning about a culture / lifestyle you didn't know about before, improved English DIY skills and maybe even a little Urdu!

We've hosted over 40 guests over the years across other sites, but we're new to worldpackers :)

We're a traditional muslim family, with my parents having left pakistan/india before the partition, so if you want to experience what life is like for a 'typical'? London family living in the suburbs (not the centre), we'd love to have you join us! My sisters a primary school teacher, currently into organic 'everything', gardening and pottery. Given we're from an eastern culture, we're relatively warm and open in the global scale of things, the more you get involved the more you'll feel part of the family! If you are an honest person and have plenty of independence you will be welcome to help on this project. The things that we'll need help with are many and varied, sanding, painting, gardening - all the way to plastering, carpentry, electrics, stronger DIY skills will be given preference. I suggest that volunteers come for one week first, then if it all works out we can negotiate the duration of the stay. You will need to be physically fit and we're happy to take either one or two single individuals.

Tuve una experiencia increíble haciendo voluntariado en la casa de Haider en Londres. Haider fue un anfitrión excelente, siempre amable, paciente y dispuesto a ayudar con cualquier cosa que necesitara. Además de aprender nuevas habilidades, tuve la oportunidad de conocer Londres en profundidad y explorar un poco la cultura musulmana, lo cual fue muy enriquecedor. La casa estaba en una buena ubicación, y el trabajo era justo lo que se había descrito: tareas variadas que se llevaban bien y con flexibilidad.

It was all a great experience, the kindness of their parents and the patience they give you is admirable. They help you improve your English and teach you their Muslim culture. If you stay at their parents' house, You will try their traditional food (spicy and delicious). I learned that they value your effort and good work very much. But above all, they value the respect and kindness that you provide, because they expect to trust you. Si eres un futuro voluntario, procura organizar tus horas de trabajo y alimentación y separar tiempo para ti, flexibles siempre que te sepas comunicar a tiempo.

Haider and his wife were very kind and welcoming! The tasks assigned were great, as I had experience with a few building-related tasks. These mainly included caulking, painting, putting up doors, building shelves, cleaning, and more. I enjoyed talking with him, his wife, and other family members who occasionally showed up to help. The only difficult part was lifting heavy materials, which was challenging due to my back problems, but Haider was very understanding and open to communication. With your own room and bathroom, overall, it was a great experience!
