Volunteer Staff in South Asia

Samaritan Group of Institutions is founded on Christian values and Biblical principles, and has a farm, campsite and a school that provides quality education for disadvantaged children. The climate is European and is enjoyable and pleasant. The present children are under 10 years and in primary school. More children will be admitted as the need is great and as others come to know about the school. The school draws from several curricula like Education For All - a Christian bridge curriculum, NIOS, Forest School and Montessori. There is a plan to include IGCSE. The present children are from India. However, historically, students have come from all over India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, South Korea, African countries, the Middle East and South East Asia.

Present requirements:

• PRINCIPAL/ADMINISTRATOR
• House/Dorm Parents
• Teachers
• Staff for sports and administration
• Skilled and Unskilled Workers

Applicants should preferably have the following skills, qualifications and attributes:

• Fluent in English with relevant educational qualifications and experience
• Willing to serve on local Indian salaries
• Willing to participate fully in the life of a growing boarding school as per institutional needs
• Short-term and long-term volunteers.
• Preference to those who share our values or are open to them.

The campus has hosted short-term volunteers from Europe and other countries. We are open to having volunteers, both young and old, including families who can come for a short period - few weeks to few months. They will be welcome to serve and have a cultural exchange and experience.

We would like short term volunteers to serve for six months at a time to help in the school and beyond. We also welcome volunteers for shorter periods from a few weeks to a few months as per their ability to come and serve. We would also love to host older people who may be retired or taking time away from work. The staff and students will greatly benefit from the interaction and the gifts and talents that these volunteers can exhibit and contribute. Volunteers of all ages bring a new perspective and a different part of the world most of our children would be unaware of. They also bring new insights and can widen the children’s horizons as well as help them grow in new ways. Volunteers will not only experience a new culture but develop cross cultural skills. It helps develop new perspectives and the ability to adapt to a myriad of situations and help prepare for a life rich with experiences and new understanding. We are also looking for remote and virtual volunteers.
