If some one is looking for opportunity to meet locals and experience nature, this is a wonderful the organization. Everyone is amazingly nice, welcoming and wonderful. They are definitely doing great work for abandoned infants, children and other projects. But I was looking for getting involved in some of the projects but there was no guideline, material or opportunity despite my suggestions. For example if I knew , I would've brought Tamil to English teaching book and baby story books with me. Ordering online did not work with that address.

The experience at the organization was simply unforgettable! From the first day onward the family and staff made me feel very welcomed, even taking me to an Indian wedding on the first weekend. The food was always fresh and delicious, so you never got hungry. At first I was a little confused about my tasks but after some time it became clear that I was going to be involved in a housing project to support a rural and needy village. The work was definitely eye-opening. I recommend this opportunity to anyone who would like to immerse themselves into the Tamil culture and experience rural India first hand!!

My experience at the organization was great 😊 the staff is lovely and always willing to help, the facilities were great, the food was outstanding. In terms of work, my task was to teach English to the kids- these kids didn't speak much English so this makes this task a little bit more complex as it was difficult to communicate with them

It is my first experience in India, in a the organization.What I can say is that the family which is giving all its life for children, women, villages who need help to live, da great job, they are all very friendly.My project was to paint on the outside wall some frescoes representing the organization'actions, as a direct publicity, and to give to the children 2 hours enjoying to color mandalas, a manner to put them in attention, concentration.I spent 1 month and a half in this big family which became mine and I know that I'll miss them.I hope I'll come back in October staying 6 months! It means: I recommande!

My days at the organization is unforgettable. the organization family is very humble and welcoming and the kids are the best, they are very energetic. One can get a glimpse of what the most rural areas of India are going through and the organization is doing great indeed an amazing job in empowering them. I already miss those kids! I think I will be going back there very soon. And about visiting nearby places Mr. Anthony who is the founder of the organization will help you in whatever way he can. Thanks Anthony for the trip to Auroville. Thanks a lot accepting me as volunteer
