    Description

    Greetings ,

    We are an education institute providing education in rural areas of the state(Uttarakhand ) . School was established back in 1989 and have three branches across the city. All volunteers will work in one school .

    We usually work till 2 o clock on weekdays and go visit places nearby , on weekends we travel long distance .

    I am a certified YTT yoga trainer so you can also learn yoga during this time because its not just about working in school but also learning local culture . Our projects provide an opportunity for young people to experience a lifestyle based around the simple philosophy of doing rather than talking and fixing rather than complaining.
    Our aim is to create more opportunities for young people to gain knowledge through discovery and to gain confidence, creativity and interest in science, culture exchange , local visits , technology, engineering, environmental issues, maths, art and learning as a whole.

    Please discuss with us in advance if you have a special diet(Vegan/fruitarian/gluten free / yoga diet )
