    Hello i am Wasim Akram and live in a small town of india named Gopalganj(Bihar). i am running a school which has around 150 students.They are mostly from underprivilaged and rural background. In order to provide my students help like making them learn from someone who is not from our culture(which seems to be a great idea)
    We would like you to stay with us and tell kids about your country and culture,teach them English,yoga, meditation or something like that.we are friendly and we follow an age old saying 'atithi Devo bhawah' (guests are like God).

    So if you want to know and feel about the real india,you are most welcome here.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    They can meet local people and get to know about their lives, We have Buddha's place( Kushinagar) and Kesariya where he got Enlightenment not very far from here (50km away)
    I personally believe that travelling and visiting historical monuments of a country is fine but to get the real feel of the country culture and environment you got to spend some time with the local people.. Especially in india where more than 75% of the population is living in rural area.
