Rural Camp Shared rooms and bathrooms Entertainment room Home > Asia > India   Andrese and Jacob   “It was a great experience working with the nice, funny (and sometimes naughty) children. Our guides and staff have all been very nice and helpful to us. We are very satisfied with the surroundings and the facilities in the camp. We have also enjoyed the weekends, both the arranged excursions and the weekends we could fill ourselves.”   Pernille   “I am going to travel for 6 months but I am already sure that this will be the highlight of the whole trip. To be able to meet the people one-on-one and to experience their everyday life is a privilege that I am sure would be impossible to find in the next four months of backpacking.”   Tine   “After the initial shock of how basic these people were living, I have come to appreciate my own privileges much more. We have so much more and are still complaining. This was certainly an eye-opener. I hope to be able to tell my friends how it was but I think its going to be hard.” Download    the brochure for this project   228 KB   Home | Site Map | Privacy Policy | Terms of Use | Jobs Volunteer Adventures - 915 S.
