Salut !
Nous sommes Lola et Valentin, un couple français voyageant en Asie pour un an ou plus.

We always try to make the effort to learn the language of the country/region we are visiting. We think it is interesting to do that in order to get immersed into the local community. We would love to learn new languages or dialects and we are able to share our mother tongue with others if they are curious about it!

Val and Lola have participated with outstanding commitment in our projects as volunteers. They never bother about hard physical work. They taught basic English and plays/ games to small children. Our children liked them. Because they approached the children friendly. We liked them as our family members. They were very concerned with our school and… read more

(Help with childcare in ...)

Our stay here was really unique and unforgettable.

We thought that Rama (the founder of the NGO) is a very wise person with a big heart. Although he is not in his 20s anymore, he is always thinking about the next best project to help the communities around him who need it the most.
He has been studying and experiencing helping others for over 30… read more years now, so he has a lot of stories to tell. Listening to him was very interesting and enriching. He has so much to tell and so many good and concrete ideas in mind!

We stayed there for two weeks, we had our own room with a double bed and a fan (and a cute dog following us everywhere). The food there was homemade and fresh everyday, it was very tasty!
A day here would go as follows: we would wake up around 7am and start gardening with Selvam (employee here) after a cup of tea. Gardening would include tasks such as cutting the weeds, planting seeds and tree seedlings, digging a pit to create a biomass compost,...
We would stop to have breakfast at around 9am, and then continue gardening until 10.30am or until the heat is not bearable anymore because the sun is up too high.
Then we would have free time until lunch.
Sometimes the kids would come around in the morning (on weekends, or on bank holidays) so we would play with them.
After lunch we would have more free time to either play with the kids, or do some side projects (posting on social media to boost our fundraising, go to the tree nursery to buy some seedlings, go buy some games for the kids, translating the website to french...)
Sometimes we would do some more gardening in the late afternoon (after the sun goes down a bit), and after another tea time, the kids would come to the center after school and we would teach them english and play some games. The volunteers are asked to be autonomous during the evening classes.

As mentioned before, Rama has so many projects to implement, but since COVID, funds are lacking.
We decided to create a fundraising in order to unlock some more projects. We could get the second floor's roofing done (to welcome more volunteers and to free a room just for the classes), but now it needs some walls, furniture, electricity... So your volunteering experience might be very different from ours!

We highly recommend this Workaway experience as it was very open minding and enriching for us! We loved to take a closer look at India's rurality, and be a part of it for a few days.
