  Description

  I am sudip (40), like to introduce myself as a Volunteer and social worker hailing from a small remote village called Tuichawng in Mizoram state of India. Mizoram fills with a land of hills and rivers. 91% of state is covered with forest. To eradicate illiteracy and poverty among the Chakma community in mizoram we have established a NGO and by which in 2016 we have established a school for underprivileged indigenous micro-minority chakma children at Tuichawng village in Lunglei District, Mizoram, India,
  The missions feels that, spreading education is one of the most important activities under its developmental interventions. The education program play a greater role in human life and helps in creation of various development opportunities among the tribals and children. Since the Mission is focusing towards working for the tribals and children in the rural areas for their up-liftment. This education program of the mission gets high priority for implementation then any other development programs as it considers the involvements of the nation building process.
  
  This school has been established for children of families with low income, living in Tuichwng and the school covers 13 minority chakma tribal villages. We have a team of committed staff members with an excellent background and a vast experience in the development field. The founder is a teacher and President of the mission firmly believes that education is the birth right of every child and no child , rich or poor should not be left behind.
  The major focus of the organization being the issues of education for the needy,helpless and destitute indigenous chakma children living in remote rural areas in Mizoram. With over 8% of the total population of Mizoram the Chakmas are the largest minority group and most of the chakmas are still illiterate due to the lack of financial problems.
  
  Volunteers have to struggle, Adjust and Adapt themselves during their stay with our children.
  
  The villagers are still backward in educationaly but they have good tradition, culture and practices Buddhist way of life. Chakma people are friendly, welcoming and peace lover.
  
  Volunteers feels happy to stay and teach the children. Volunteers can also extend their generous support by donating any amounts of funds to develop the school.

  Cet hôte fait payer des frais

  en savoir plus

  Pourquoi workaway.info autorise-t-il certains hôtes à faire payer des frais ?

  Dans les pays en voie de développement (où la plupart des hôtes sont engagés dans des associations caritatives ou des programmes de développement au service de la communauté locale), certains de nos hôtes peuvent demander aux workawayers de faire un petit don pour aider la famille d'accueil ou l’association (souvent moins de 5 dollars par jour). Workaway n'autorise cette demande de don que si le don va directement à la famille ou à l'association et s'il ne sert qu’à couvrir les frais de séjour des volontaires. (Les annonces où l’hôte demande des frais seront clairement identifiées dans la liste d'annonces).
  Nous n'autorisons en aucun cas les annonces d'agences, d’intermédiaires ou de projets qui nous semblent vouloir profiter des volontaires.
