Community service projects in rural and urban Bangalore, India

In this project, volunteers will work with different organizations involved in the development of the underprivileged. Our aim is to create awareness among the people and to give them more instruments to feel confident and free to decide for their future, and for the future of a new generation. Previous volunteer groups have assisted various governmental schools by spreading awareness about the environment and health and hygiene; working with local schools in teaching basic English and Math through creative learning methods; helped with some renovations like building playgrounds, painting, tree planting etc.

The mission of this project is to: • Organize a multi-purpose project to involve the community and sensitize local people about the Health & Hygiene problems. • Educate the children to build a better and more conscious society. • Spreading awareness of environmental issues among children and villagers. • Working with other NGOs in community service projects.

The schedule and the focus of the project will be adapted to the season, the possibilities and the needs at the moment, with the aim to improve the achievements in a long term view. The work could be with orphans, school kids, street or slum children.
