Program Details

Worldpackers volunteers will experience during your stay privacy in your own room. But you will also experience the traditions and company and joy of a family, as I live with little Risa (4 years old), Rashni (7 years old) and Lala (14 years old). You will also taste the delicious homemade traditional food from Bihar which my lovely mom cooks every day.

This is the project you will join: We’re a non-profit organization working for the betterment of the underprivileged. We work to provide child quality education in rural India. We started with a one hundred student school and now expanded to a 400 student school in Kanar.

The idea is that volunteers help in the school as teachers, helpers or builders. They can organize and arrange their own projects depending on what their skills are and what they like to do. We have over 250 kids in the school and any help will be welcome.

Activities & Shift

You are welcome to live in the village, experience real life in India; eating in family homes, learning hindi, visiting the local tourist spots (bodh gaya is the place where budha got enlightenment, so there are many places of interest) and getting to know about our culture and rituals. They will be treated as part of the family and they will get to celebrate weddings, birthdays and other celebrations with us.

Sujatha village (Bakrour) is right next to Bodh Gaya. If you decide to join us we can help you rent a scooter for very cheap price or we can provide you transport for free in our scooter (picking you up and dropping you off when necessary). We will take you to many monasteries, budha statues and other activities in the area.
