Program description: |
|
|
World Endeavors offers several enriching volunteer programs across India in both urban and rural areas. These projects provide a culturally-immersive experience while allowing volunteers to make a meaningful contribution to the Indian people. The Street Children Assistance project is one such project.
Neglected, abandoned, or run-away children on the streets in the cities of India live a life that is often void of love and warmth, safety, protection, and parental care. Volunteers help to change this reality through their involvement in after-school programs that focus on providing the children basic daily care. Volunteers work directly with social workers and may help to administer programs such as English language training, computer training, and medical care.
Typical volunteer projects include academic reinforcement, childcare/children, community development, literacy, orphans, primary education, secondary education, street kids, teaching, youth and youth development
