Volunteer Programs KERALA

A day of a Volunteer

The volunteers who will live with you come from all over the world and are very different people. But the fact of sharing this profound experience, prints the house of volunteers with a warm atmosphere of companionship and friendship that is perceived as soon as you land. It is something close, something special.

Thus, among friends, your day begins with a breakfast in the dining room before leaving for your project, where they will receive you with open arms since the volunteers are highly valued and respected in India. You will work approx. from 9 to 12.30 or 13:00. A lunch, some free time, and again to work, which is nothing but a hugely rewarding time where your help will report more to you than to them.

In the afternoons, already back at the volunteer house, you will have free time to visit the city or carry out the cultural immersion activities of the program. And on weekends … free to rest, or to travel!

ACCOMMODATION

The new Volunteer House is located in Fort Kochi, ideally located for project participants as it is a very quiet tourist area and full of shops, restaurants, hospital, transportation, etc.. It has rooms for 2 to 4 people with refrigerator and bathroom, lounges and common dining room, TV, free wifi, washing machine with clothesline, refrigerators, bookshop, kitchen … and a magnificent terrace with views ideal for meetings between friends. And always under the supervision and attention of the coordinator. Everything to make you feel at ease.

And as far as the food is concerned, typical Kerala dishes are prepared, which do, they sting a little, but for sure you will love them. Rice, legumes, tortillas, vegetables, chicken… 3 meals are included every day (except Sunday dinner).

Thus is the travel we propose you…
are you really going to leave it for later??
