Description

This 12-week program give you an opportunity to work with a grassroots organization and to support the development of the children. Interns will be working in a local non-profit organization that is working in the rural and tribal belt of Raigad District for the last 15 years which serves approximately 4000 households. Their interventions have been focused in the areas of health, education, community development and educational sponsorship for deserving children.

Highlights

There's simply no other word that convincingly captures the enigma that is India. With its in-your-face diversity, from snow-dusted mountains to sun-washed beaches, tranquil temples to feisty festivals, lantern-lit villages to software-supremo cities, it's hardly surprising that this country has been dubbed the world's most multidimensional. Love it or loathe it, and most visitors see-saw between the two, India promises to jostle your entire being, and no matter where you go or what you do, it's a place you'll never forget.
