Volunteer programs in India

Why take part in volunteer work in India?

In the midst of the 21st century, the land of inspiring figures such as Buddha and Gandhi still maintains its colors and mysticism, motivating trips that go far beyond mundane tourist excursions. Volunteer programs in India seek help for children without basic education, animals without shelter or farmers in poverty. Volunteer work in India is warmly welcomed all year round, even for a short period of time.
