At the project site, volunteers typically start their day early with tea and hot water served at 6 am. For those who enjoy yoga and meditation, there is a peaceful setting available. Children often come early to play sports like football and volleyball.

Activities & Shift

The nature of the volunteer tasks may vary depending on the specific needs of the community. Our objective is to provide assistance in any way possible to the people and the community. Typically, volunteers will engage in physical outdoor activities such as construction work and carrying stones or mortar. However, there may be occasions when volunteers will accompany locals to collect wood and grass or assist farmers in the fields. It is important for volunteers to be open-minded and adaptable to the tasks assigned to them.
