  ABOUT OUR PLACE :
  
  Since 2009 we are running 2 primaryschools in a Village of Bodhgaya/ Bihar in northern India. Bihar is considered as one of the poorest and underdeveloped states of India and acess to good education is rare in the rural areas. Bodhgaya is the place where the historical Buddha "Siddartha Gautama" was enlightened under a Bodhitree. Bodhgaya is a pilgrimage side for many Buddhists from all over the world.
  An NGO was founded after several years of travelling the world. When Michael met his good friend and Chairman of the project,they decited to run a soupkitchen for the poorest families in the surrounding villages. The soupkitchen soon became a primary school with 130 children nowadays. The NGO gets funded by donations mainly from Germany, the US and more european countries.
  In order to become more selfsustainable Michael and Murari have started a Guesthouse in 2012 which is attached to the Ngo.

  Hello dear travelers and artists from around the world!
  
  We are a small non-profit organization running a school and community kitchen for children in rural India. Besides giving daily meals and education, we want to bring more creativity and joy into the lives of the kids we care for.
  
  Recently, a wonderful artist from abroad stayed with us and created beautiful wall paintings together with the children. This experience was unforgettable — not only did the children learn artistic skills, but they also gained so much confidence and happiness! Now, we would love to repeat this experience with other creative souls from around the world.
  
  👉 We are especially looking for volunteers who are artists, mural painters, or simply creative people who love to work with children. You don't need to be a professional — just bring your passion and your heart!
