Government Middle School, Janauli

My beautiful home is situated at DLF valley (in the outskirts of Panchkula city) surrounded by Morni hills at the bank of a river. Forest area, for hiking or tracking, is only 20-30 minutes walk away. Two good hill stations 1) Morni hills ( places like Tikkar Lake) (in Haryana) and 2) Kasauli (in Himachal Pradesh) are only around 45 minutes drive away from here. The capital of Haryana and Punjab, Chandigarh (The city beautiful) is only 30 minutes drive away from my place. There are lots of beautiful places worth visiting are under one hour drive away. In DLF valley club, the facilities like Table tennis, Tennis, Vollyball, Bedminton, Swimming pool, Bar, Cafe, Restaurant etc. are available. Staying with a local family would provide the first hand experience of Indian culture.

The Government Middle School in Janauli village is also situated in the lap of Morni hills. There are only 59 lovely kids from nearby villages and 6 teachers in the school. The villagers are very peaceful people who would love to interact with volunteers and so are their children (students) who are very curious, easy to connect and eager to learn along with that very respectful as well.

So far I came across two types of volunteers in India, one who come, stay and after visiting, decide "they never gonna visit India again" and other who come, visit and after it, they can never stop themselves to visit here again and again. It's your turn to find out...

In GMS school Janauli, there are 5 teachers and 1 school head in teaching staff and two female cooks for preparing mid day meal of the school. All the people are peaceful, cooperative and will love to interact with the volunteers. The treatment depends on both sides, Iam pretty sure about good treatment from school staff and rest is upto the volunteers.

Vikas is both a knowledgeable and respectful host. He was able to answer all of my questions and was as well interested in my own culture and ways of understanding life.
He lives with his parents and provided me with a bedroom and washroom. He made sure I was always feeling okay and showed me around the area apart from the school.
The school is located 25 minutes by car above DLS (where Vikas lives) and has beautiful landscape. The children are amazing and participate actively in any activity that you propose. They are eager to learn, used to volunteers and very happy to have you there!

This was one of the best experiences I ever had. I had so much fun and the kids are amazing, everyone is just so nice and welcoming. The host (Vikas) is an amazing human being and tries to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.
Their english is not so good, so everything you are able to teach them will make you feel very proud.
This experience will make
you want to go back again.

The experience in the school was really, really amazing. It's in a little place in the middle of nature and all kids are adorable. They want to learn all the time and at the same time they teach you a lot.
About the host, Vikas is a correct person without wanting to be very close. He lives in a quite urbanization, beautiful parks around. The city is a little far from the place.
I recommend the experience if you need a stop in your Indian trip and you want to experience 'western lifestyle' in India.

From the day I arrived I felt so welcomed by Vikas and his family, and the children at the school were so intelligent and sweet, it was an amazing experience to teach English here, we had delicious food every day and went out for day trips to the mountains and I met his group of lovely friends, it was an amazing experience and I’d recommend coming here if you want to experience true Indian culture
