Description
We're thrilled to invite individuals who resonate with our mission to contribute their skills and ideas. Your involvement will not only enhance our community but also provide a nurturing environment for all who pass through. Let's work together to create a space of learning, creativity, and support.
Flexible Environment: Our place is designed for those who wish to both contribute to our organization and community, and for those who seek a tranquil space for their own pursuits. Slow travelers and explorers alike will find a space where they can engage at their own pace.
Recycled Comfort: Making mattresses and carpets from second-hand materials is a sustainable and resourceful endeavor that would contribute greatly to a family in need.
Educational Support: Our pupils sometime need assistance with solving question papers. If you can lend your knowledge to help solve some question papers, it would be immensely appreciated (Kindly note, we do not involve volunteers with our students directly) or if you could teach the host some of the textbook lessons so we in turn can teach our students.
Clothing Repairs: We have clothes that will be distributed, and if you have skills in repairing clothing, your expertise would be invaluable in ensuring these items are ready for those who need them. Even if you are not an expert, we will help you learn the basics stitching methods with a thread and a needle if you are willing to help.
Cleaning and Organization: We're in need of helping hands to keep our space clean and organized, making it a comfortable haven for everyone involved, specially since we want to convey a message of hygiene and promote cleanliness which helps us in avoid diseases and illnesses.
Artistic Touch: We aspire to make the space homely and inviting. If you're artistically inclined, your colorful paintings could add a touch of beauty and warmth to our surroundings.
Craft Projects: If you're enthusiastic about DIY projects, your ideas could bring a creative flair to our environment. Macramé art and other craft endeavors are most welcome.
We do not involve any volunteers with our community directly, as we have realized that they need stability and volunteers coming and going on a continued basis really disturbs their stability of mind. They get attached to some and soon it's time for them to leave and they are left with feelings of abandonment, most of our community come from very difficult backgrounds and they struggle to cope as is, hence, no direct contact is allowed. We require help collecting used clothes from people and also clean and mend them to be usable. Every winter, we have many deaths in Delhi due to people not having enough clothes to wear to survive the extreme cold. This is all documented so you can also look it up on the internet. Our climate is on the extreme end, summers are too hot and winters extremely cold.
Our focus is on helping the under privileged community build their lives to live in a more dignified manner, relocate them to better and safer environments if we sense a thread, specially to the girl child, though this takes time but small steps taken in the right direction helps immensely. However, in order to help them live sustainably, we help them get jobs, and since most of them are illiterate and can only do unskilled work, we help them get jobs like cleaning cars, cleaning houses, cooking in houses, drivers, painters, etc. as a means to survive.
Some of the practical help we require now is to source second hand things, for which, we go around the neighborhood to collect anything people might want to get rid off or that we find lying around on the roadside or that people have discarded. Our motto is, someone's trash is else's treasure and we have been able to help communities by making use of second hand things. A lot of the things we get donated or collected need a lot of repair and mending and TLC to be able to use again, could be painting, reinforcing the wood, nailing the corners of chairs, sewing mattress for the colder months, mending the torn clothes to be used again, ironing the clothes to be presentable to give.
After all, we want to give them a dignified living and not just treat them as second class citizens. So, we do need hands on people and who don't mind helping with whatever is required, whatever maybe in your capacity.
We want people to be aware that there's a taboo about using old things in India, specially the discarded things so that's why we want to make sure to repair things as best as possible and as fresh as possible and change their mind in the process about using old things. It's hard to change mindsets, however, we want to do it one at a time.
We charge a small fee of 5 dollars a day per person (this has been approved by Workaway). This goes towards food and accommodation. We do not earn any money from it.Types d'aide et opportunités d'apprendre

ジュンコを受け入れることは、私たちが一緒に旅に出た瞬間から絶対的な喜びだった。その過程では、数え切れないほどの交流、終わりのない会話、翻訳、そして豊富な質問と答えがあった。そしてついに、私たちは純子に直接会う機会に恵まれた。
優しさ、知性、そして揺るぎない仕事への姿勢。私は彼女に最も困難な役割のひとつを任せたが、彼女はその場に立ち向かっただけでなく、すべての期待を上回った。仕事の内容に圧倒されそうになるような過酷な日々でも、淳子は並外れた回復力と揺るぎない誠実さを発揮し、私たちは皆、畏敬の念を抱いた。彼女の仕事上の貢献だけでなく、私たちが一緒に過ごした時間は、忘れられない瞬間に満ちていた。私たちは豊かな会話を交わし、地元の名所を探索し、人生のシンプルな喜びを味わった。私は淳子を友人たちに紹介する喜びを感じ、一緒に数え切れないほどの思い出に残る外出を楽しみ、食事を共にし、永遠の絆を築いた。彼女の純粋な温かさと愛想の良さは、私が知り合えた人の中で最も優しい人の一人である。
純金のハートを持つ純子は、どんな組織にとっても、彼女をチームの一員として迎えることは本当に幸運なことだろう。彼女の頼もしさと社交的な優しさは比類のないもので、どんな努力にも常に全力を尽くしている。
私たちの会話は、彼女の日本での経験と私たちのインドでの経験を比較しながら、人生の奥深さを掘り下げ、私たちの視点を豊かにする共通点と相違点の両方を明らかにした。彼女の滞在中、私たちは本当に人生を共にした。彼女が私たちの組織にユニークで有意義な貢献をしてくれたことに、どれだけ感謝しても言い尽くせない。
ジュンコが旅を続けるにあたり、彼女の今後の旅と努力が最高のものであることを心から祈っている。日本であれ、インドであれ、私たちの道が再び交わる日を心待ちにしています。淳子、あなたは私たちの心の中で特別な存在であり、あなたの存在は祝福に他なりません。あなたは最高にスイートで、私たちはあなたを心から愛しています!xoxo
I cannot express how immensely grateful and thankful I am for Junko's exceptional contribution to our organization. What began as a planned 10-day visit turned into an extended stay of nearly double that duration. Junko holds the distinction of being our very first Japanese volunteer, a prospect that initially filled me with skepticism, as we had never experienced the interest of Japanese volunteers before. However, I am overjoyed that I embraced this opportunity.
Hosting Junko was an absolute pleasure from the moment we embarked on our journey together. The process involved countless exchanges, endless conversations, translations, and an abundance of questions and answers. Finally, we had the privilege of meeting Junko in person, and it was an experience that left a lasting impression on us all.
Junko embodies qualities that are truly admirable - kindness, intelligence, and an unwavering work ethic. I entrusted her with one of our most challenging roles, and she not only rose to the occasion but surpassed all expectations. Even on the most demanding days, when the nature of the job seemed overwhelming, Junko exhibited an extraordinary level of resilience and unwavering faithfulness that left us all in awe.
Beyond her professional contributions, the time we spent together was filled with unforgettable moments. We engaged in enriching conversations, explored the local sights, and savored the simple joys of life. I had the pleasure of introducing Junko to my circle of friends, and together, we enjoyed countless memorable outings, shared meals, and created lasting bonds. Her genuine warmth and affability make her one of the sweetest individuals I have had the pleasure of knowing.
Junko possesses a heart of pure gold, and any organization would be truly fortunate to have her as part of their team. Her dependability and social grace are unparalleled, and she consistently gives her absolute best in every endeavor.
Our conversations delved into the depths of life, comparing her experiences in Japan to ours in India, revealing both similarities and differences that enriched our perspectives. During her stay, we truly lived life together, and I cannot overstate how grateful I am for the unique and meaningful contributions she made to our organization.
As Junko continues her journey, I wholeheartedly wish her the very best in her future travels and endeavors. I eagerly anticipate the day when our paths cross again, whether it be in Japan or India. Junko, you hold a special place in our hearts, and your presence has been nothing short of a blessing. You're the sweetest, and we love you dearly! xoxo
