Description

Want to help enrich the lives of underprivileged children in India?

Combine bringing some joy and fun to the lives of underprivileged youngsters in a kindergarten with working with older children in an orphanage helping them with their studies, leading activities and working alongside the local team to bring some brightness to their lives. All the children in the orphanage and kindergarten come from challenging backgrounds and the enthusiasm, energy and passion that you bring can have a major impact on the daily lives of these deserving youngsters. We can also promise that the impact of these young people and their joy for life will also make a major impact on you!

What our projects say:
Since we have more than 50 students in each classroom and an equal number of students at the orphanage, the teachers are delighted to get help from the i-to-i volunteers who are so dedicated to the cause they come for. Also at the orphanage they help the students with their homework
Interacting with i-to-i volunteers helps us to learn better methods of teaching our students. Also when our students are divided into smaller groups and taught by the i-to-i volunteers, they receive better attention than a teacher trying to manage a whole class of more than 50 students
The volunteers impart their skills and talents and that does make a huge difference in the lives of these little children who are in their growing stage. Also children get bored seeing the same teacher every day, and are curious to learn from the volunteers
