Arbeit

The project will offer a mix of cultural immersion, eco trekking and understanding community life. Three activities are planned. In cultural immersion, three sites will be covered: 1: Haripur Gurudwara (an age old temple of Sikhism religion importance where people visit to take blessings and fulfill their wishes), 2: Hanuman Mandir (probably the oldest Lord Monkey Temple) and 3: Snake Temple. All these places are historical but do not figure on international tourist map.
A short eco-trek will also be planned involving a cleanliness drive.

During the camp, a community grass roots experience sharing session will also be planned where they would participate and learn from our ongoing initiatives like NFE, women empowerment, NRM (Protection of fresh water sources), organic farming etc.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

Volunteers will live in shared accommodation in both places. The minimum basic amenities will be available. Vegetarian food will be served but in the town you will have access to non-vegetarian meals as well. A cook will be there but volunteers are expected to help him and occasionally cook their own meals and self-management is required.

Lage und Freizeit

Volunteers would join us at our headquarters (Bandh village campus in Solan district) which is based at a rural location where they have opportunity to live & experience a typical mountain village culture and their lifestyle.

Nearby Kasauli town is a major attraction. A visit to Shimla, the state capital, will offer an opportunity to see high Himalayan Mountains and British architecture.

Working closely with local communities we have mobilized women self help groups in villages. Through these groups we have nurtured and supported women
entrepreneurship initiatives to economically support their families and spread awareness within villages. We also work with teenage girls in public schools where we assist in development of their soft skills and critical health issues.

As a volunteer you will have an opportunity to exchange ideas, better understand the role a typical woman has in our society and join in their social & economic upliftment.

Volunteers are expected to be creative and skillful so they can implement need based workshop for girls about adolescence education, personality development, career counseling etc. They will also be attending meetings of Self-help Groups (SHGs) and interact with women to better understand their plight and assist them to be economically independent.

Additional activities will include learning of various developmental issues and solutions. They will visit various humanitarian projects and interact with the villagers.
