Description

Currently based in India, I’m looking to connect with hosts and travelers where I can contribute and learn. I love teaching and mentoring in Math, Science, and Computer Science, and I can assist with tech and creative tasks like social media handling, marketing, website creation, graphic design, and Canva projects.

I enjoy hands-on projects such as farming, woodworking, craftwork, and other creative endeavors. I also have experience cooking, especially South Indian cuisine, and I’m keen on learning yoga, meditation, and holistic wellness practices.

In my free time, I produce progressive house music, enjoy hiking, trekking, solo travel, long bike rides, and I’m a coffee enthusiast. I’m also a flight enthusiast—a true Boeing Boy who can talk about planes all day. Overall, I’m eager to help, learn, and share experiences with fellow travelers and hosts.

I volunteered here from July 21st to August 7th, and Aparna Ma'am was kind enough to host me in her house throughout my stay. For the first few days, I taught Maths and Computer Science to Class 11 CS and Commerce students. Then my work shifted from teaching to designing posters and invitations in Canva for the school. This went on for a few days. … read more After that, using Claude Code, I designed an HR dashboard web app for the school, where level coordinators log in and update the status of their daily to-dos, and HR can see all of it on her screen. I also helped Aparna Ma'am create a website for her NGO, Copila.

Aparna Ma'am is so lovely. She prepared delicious meals for me daily, made sure my stay was comfortable, and made chai for me every morning before I headed out to school. She took care of me just like my mom would. Her son Robin and I roamed around together and bonded well. He is doing his diploma in lab tests (or whatever that course is called).

The family wanted to try proper South Indian food, and being from Tamil Nadu, I prepared them the dishes, the authentic way. Ma'am brought home everything I asked for. I made the batter, let it ferment overnight, and the next day I served them idli, dosa, coconut chutney, onion chutney and sambhar. I hope I did it justice. One of Ma'am's relatives made gol gappas completely at home, the rasam, the aloo stuffing, the hot and sweet sauce and all. I can still taste them.

At the school, I worked with Usha Ma'am, the Head HR, throughout the dashboard project. We had coffee together daily and long conversations, and we got along so well.

Anuradha Ma'am, the head coordinator of Grades 11 and 12, was fun to be around, from break times to lunch times. And the rapport between Aparna Ma'am, Usha Ma'am and Anuradha Ma'am was great to watch. The three of them are friends: they discuss, they tease, they fight, they make fun of each other.

Giri Sir is the go-to guy for all sorts of needs, from managing the school infrastructure and monitoring the ongoing construction to taking care of literally everything. He is humble and down to earth, and I loved discussing the latest political news with him over chai.

Principal Sir, Premnidhi Ojha, is such a lovely and wise person. I helped him with tech things like digital board issues in the school and problems with PDF tools, and he made sure my stay was comfortable throughout.

I met the CEO, Mr. Ganesh Prasad Joshi, after a week. He was right there in the school, working alongside the teachers. He cycles (a biker) and loves the mountains, and he even asked me to join him for a short stay there. Unfortunately, I had to decline as I was midway through the development of the HR dashboard.

Kamal Sir, the chef and the teacher for the HMI students, was kind enough to teach me baking bread and making a cup of cappuccino. He taught me everything: using the machine, preparing the dough, kneading it with the machine, rolling it and making it into bread. On day 3, he allowed me to do it completely on my own from scratch, and I loved baking with him.

Dhangadhi, where the school is located, is a calm place away from the city noise, surrounded by lush green farms. I enjoyed my daily walk from the school to Aparna Ma'am's house. Make sure to try the donuts and cream bun from Hamro Diary. They prepare some decent ones.

My first Workaway experience went extremely well. The host and all the school members were very lovely. Loved it completely.

It is with great pleasure that we recommend Vedha for any future professional or volunteer engagements. During his month-long stay, he proved to be an indispensable member of our community.
Vedha demonstrated high competency in teaching Grade 11 Computer Science and showed a deep sense of empathy by tutoring our weaker students individually. His … read more
