Beschreibung
Hi! My name is Ishwar. I live with my wife, my father and my son (born in 2011) in rural Rajasthan. I have a small sustainable organic farm & an english school in the area of Punjpur, Dungarpur. I am looking for volunteers who can help me teach or work at the farm. In your spare time, there are so many sites to see & other activities. You can meet the villagers, go for hikes in the green hills, swimming or even attend a religious festival or marriage. My farm is located 35km from Dungarpur town. We have so many lakes and water bodies near our farm, like Jaysamand lake (40km). Udaipur is only 90km from farm. Some wildlife sanctuary's & forests near our farm. I would love to make you feel at ease in my home, so you feel prepared for your next adventure in India. Together, we strive for world brotherhood!

Was ist das?
Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
There are lots of opportunities to experience real rural India by participating in local & national level fair's, festivals, marriage & other social & community based celebration. People are really open and sociable, and will invite you in for tea any time of the day.

You can also gain experience teaching, learn Hindi or Gujarati, or new practical skills... A change of perspective will allow you to develop yourself further as a human being.
Projekte mit Kindern
Dieses Projekt schließt möglicherweise den Umgang mit Kindern ein. Mehr Informationen findest du in unseren Verhaltensregeln und Tipps hier.
Arbeit
SCHOOL
I can use your help teaching children from 3 to 16 years old. I'm especially looking for volunteers with some experience in teaching or in main subjects such as English, maths, science, social studies... At the same time, their fluency in English will improve. You are also most welcome to propose your own project and introduce the children to your subject of choice.

FARM
My farm has 7 buffaloes, some fields for a variety of crops and many fruit trees. Help includes horticulture, vegetable gardening, taking care of the animals... I would love to turn my farm into a tourist retreat, far away from busy city life. For this I want to construct housing with sustainable local materials (like bamboo or clay) and make the farm overall more attractive (landscaping, art project, cleaning...). Other projects I am working on include developing a fish pond, building duck, goat and chicken housing, planting a flower garden and building a bee keeping facility, builing more storage area... Experience in these areas will be much appreciated! These several projects will help make my farm more economically sustainable in the future.

HOME
At home, you can help with cooking (indian dishes as well as your country's specialities), washing the dishes, housekeeping, helping my son with homework and having some fun together, taking care of my elderly father...
Gesprochene Sprachen
Englisch: Fließend
Gujarati: Fließend
Hindi: Fließend
Unterkunft
Volunteers have a large space upstairs with a fan, electricity and internet connection. You can also use the common bathroom and toilet and of course the living area downstairs. Sleeping outside on the roof is also an option, with a great view of the surrounding hills or the stars.

Food is fresh, vegetarian and organic. We cook Gujarati, Rajasthani and South-Indian dishes, but are also eager to try your favorite meal. 3 meals a day will be provided, with additional chai, snacks and lots of seasonal fruits like mangos, sapota, lemons... from the farm.
Was noch ...
My house is easily accessible from the village of Punjpur, which can be reached from Indore, Mumbai, Udaipur, Ahmedabad...

I can help you plan all types of leisure activities: take you on a bikeride to ancient temples and to enjoy the scenary, suggest different hiking routes and opportunities for viewing wildlife, take you to meet my friends... Things my son enjoys are playing Monopoly, baking cake, drawing...

Vom Workawayer (Kay) für Host

Ishwar invited me on workaway and I was delighted since I had wanted to go to India. He is managing his organic farm in a rural village where no one else really knows about organic. He also cares deeply about educating children at his independent school. He loves his country and enjoys sharing it with others. He was a wonderful host, taking me to… read more the splendid Juna Mahal palace and even to a chiromancer (palm reader) which was a special request. I appreciated that.
His delightful family is warmhearted and welcoming. I spent mornings with Tajal his charming wife, who is impossibly cheerful and fun to be with . Both of them speak great English. I think Ishwar is fluent. Mornings Tajal and I did the laundry, cleaning and dishes, often ending up walking to the farm to do some weeding. Afternoons, Ishwar took me to the village on his motorbike ( very fun) or in car.

It was wonderful to experience a place so different from my own. I adore cows and seeing such gorgeous ones strolling free or sitting in the streets, with the humans circumventing them, and not hurting and killing them for food/clothing was balm to my heart and I loved every minute. You can go up to them and pet and kiss them, which I did every day! They are so gentle and wise and beautiful....

I was able to facilitate the family's learning of Reiki which was something they wanted, so I felt good about that.

One thing I realized is that Westerners are overly-sanitized due to programmed fear of their own bodies and natural processes and , nature, really. I suspected this for a long time, but being in India , eating on the ground and with my hands and using the simple toilets etc... brought my understanding to an empirical level, which was enjoyable. It is a more natural, direct, honest way of life and it is healing. It is not "dirty" as many westerners think of India.

I was happily surprised at how amazingly comfortable the bed was. It was a simple metal frame with bands of heavy-duty cotton weaved from side to side. Nothing could be simpler, and I slept so very well on them. so, again, we don't need box springs and mattresses!! There is so much we don't need... so much simpler ways to live...

The village people are beyond friendly and sweet. They immediately smile wide and want to take you into their homes. I just wish there weren't the language barrier. There is so much I wanted to say to them, but couldn't. Lovely, lovely people.

I had been warned, as a Westerner, not to go to India because many westerners get sick . I was told I couldn't drink the water. But! Ishwar has pure water from a deep well and It was fine for me. It tasted great and I felt fine. Not much fruit was producing in the season I was there (July) so I had to buy un-organic fruit from village, which was not good for me, but I knew this might happen before coming....
Thank you Ishwar, Tajal, Happy, Jashwant, Harry and friends, (cows!) for a remarkable experience which has enriched my life.
