When accompanying children with disabilities in a drop-in center, your tasks will include assisting local teachers and educators with their classes, providing educational ideas and tools. The school welcomes more than 100 children, suffering from various mental illnesses: dyslexia, autism, down syndrome, deaf and dumb children).
A typical volunteer’s day begins with breakfast at 8:30 a.m., and workdays run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday to Friday. A coordinator is always present to facilitate exchanges in all our programs. Lunch is taken at home or at the workplace.
In the afternoon or evening, volunteers can take classes, participate in workshops, visit the city and have dinner.
The assignment depends on the skills and profile of the participants. A telephone interview and an application (CV and cover letter) will determine the placement of the volunteers on educational projects ranging from childcare to the organisation of extracurricular activities and tutoring / assistance in schools for those with the most training.

Housing is allocated by local NGOs, not by Freepackers - the descriptions are there to give you an idea of the type of accommodation, as it is very likely that conditions will vary on site depending on the number of volunteers, weather conditions, availability, etc. Each volunteer will be accommodated according to the stated conditions, but it is possible that the accommodation may not match the description or images shown on this site word for word, for example, in the case of annexed housing, renovations, relocations, etc.
Volunteers stay in a shared house with other volunteers, with rooms consisting of 4 volunteers. The windows are equipped with mosquito nets. The house has European style toilets, cold water showers and wifi in the common areas. Coffee, tea and fresh water are available all day and the kitchen also has a fridge for volunteers. A large balcony and rooftop are also available to students and volunteers. The office of the NGO is located downstairs and is available from 8am to 5pm every day.
Private rooms are available at an additional cost of $25/night.
Three meals are provided per day, with the exception of Sunday night dinner.
South Indian food is tasty and varied, and volunteers can expect to experience a variety of local flavours and meals during their experience.
Breakfast is different every day and will be either an Indian breakfast or on some days eggs, bread, fruit, tea and coffee. Lunch and dinner are local curry dishes made with coconut, rice, roti or chapatti.
Meals are generally vegetarian and include potatoes, okra, aubergine, squash, carrots, beets and various pulses and lentils. If you have food needs, please inform us in advance so that the NGO can make the necessary arrangements on site.
If you want to eat western food, you can easily get it at the cafes and restaurants in the area.
If you would like to contribute to the project, you can bring the following items:
Reading books, English learning activity books, toys, art materials, stickers, puppets, educational games, used electronic equipment. English and grammar books are always popular.
We also ask that you bring your laptops or ipads, as you can use them to plan your lessons.
