Arbeit
There are around 400 kids in our school.we would like you to connect with them in any sort of way be it by drawing, painting,sports, teaching English or anything.
the infrastructure of school is not good(most of the kids are underprivilegd hence many parents dont pay the monthly fee at time,many of them dont even pay the monthly tuition fee which is 400rs=5$ for a month) .you can easily help even if English is your second or third language.if you have any other ideas to improve the infrastructure of school,we would love to hear those ideas.
There is no obligation to work.if you don't feel like working someday,you can just relax.

Vom Workawayer (Alyona) für Host

I've done several volunteer programs before (in India as well), but I can definitely say that this was my best experience! I was teaching some basic English and drawing. I've got some books, pencils and colors with me from Ukraine and used it for my lessons. Children loved it a lot! Also I had a professional camera and I was giving it to try to… read more the kids, so for a while everyone could feel themself a photographer :)
The love you receive from kids here is overwhelming, I could not even asked for something like that!
Once you arrive, they welcome you with flowers and treat like a family member. I stayed here for 3 weeks, but I've got an Indian mom (who is always full of energy and never gets tired), brother Anay (who always around, helping, caring, asking how are you, goes together to the market), Ankit (who became my very close friend just in few days), Luvkush and Pishu (little angel helpers) and 400 little sunshines :)
School conditions are very basic, I appeared here in April, at 45 degree heat... No AC, power cuts 10 times a day, no rain and tons of dust, a room with metal bars on the window, same food everyday, nowhere to go (only one main market road in the village) and actually it is so hot that you are not even able to move out, garbage all around that are not collected, but simly burnt every evening and many more.... Then I asked myself "Why am I here?"
And it was pretty simple. Turned out that I could actually give up all my standards for a while, I can put myself in those people's shoes, live like them and it is very easy to be happy when you have nothing. Connections between people, smiles, laughters, mutual help, even sweating and drinikng cold water together - that's what kept me happy. Indian mom and brother Anay, who treated me like a family, who were always around offering help and caring for my comfort... Kids and their high fives, hugs, walking and holding their child hands, playing together, learning Hindi and English, learning new traditions or ways of doing something, sharing your knowledge... People - that's what matter the most! I've been saying that before and I keep repeating it. If you focus on that, giving everything up is really easy.
About love.
When you don't have kids, but secretly want so, and then God sends you 400 kids! :) This is a real blessing, so much love! We were not only speaking English and Hindi there, but we also spoke the language of love.
There is this concept of "5 love languages" by Gary Chapman, he says these are receiving gifts, quality time, words of affirmation, acts of service and physical touch.
Indeed, many of kids were trying to bring some gifts to me (even when they not always have 10 rupees a day for themselves) - candies, pens, diaries, pins, bracelets... There was one girl, Palak, she was bringing me gifts every day. I was also invited to her house and to Luvkush house, it was very memoreble for me.
Quality time - every minute before and after classes, they were always around, wanting to spend time, asking 10 times "How are you?" just because they didn't know how to say anything else, but wanted to communicate :)
Words of affirmation - my lovely girls from 5-6 class, always repeating "maam I miss you" and wanting a hug...
Acts of service - always arranging a chair for me)) One day when it was power cut and fan was not working Luvkush brought me his hand-made fan <3
Physical touch - oh, these tons of high fives, handshakes, hugs, they were always so eager for that... <3
So yeah, in this trip I found so much love I could never even ask for.
I love every single kid as my own and I miss them a lot.

2 months in India wouldn't be as great as it was without visiting this place. Our new home.
We stayed there for 2 weeks and it was not enough. Because you never have enough high fives with students, playing games, shopping with mom or just drinking masala chai and chill. Forever wouldn't be enough to share all the love we have for each other! <3… read more
