Program Overview

On this program you will teach at a local kindergarten in the morning, before heading back to the centre for lunch and then in the afternoons you will volunteer on the slum outreach project.

This kindergarten is run by a local Goan family and provides education for cheerful and energetic children from underprivileged families who cannot afford regular kindergarten fees or otherwise might not attend school.

You will have ample opportunities to engage in creative teaching and learn teaching skills from experienced local staff. This project also offers opportunities for aspiring kindergarten teachers. You can teach a variety of subjects to the children, including English, music, arts and crafts, and sports.

The Slum Outreach project is primarily for children aged 4-14 years from migrant families living in slums on the outskirts of the city. You will prepare lessons in the morning for about 2 hours. Interact with the children through games and activities to teach them and help them understand the importance of education and developing skills beyond just English. You may join another program in the morning if you wish, as we require you to participate for longer.

Goa slum outreach

Everything was amazing! Cultural week was very interesting and I really enjoy it, it was a nice introduction to a different culture. Volunteering was amazing: volunteering with the elderly was so rewarding. In the afternoon I volunteered with the slum kids, which was another great experience. Local team was wonderful. Harseerat and Kallyan are so nice and helpful. They supported me during volunteering (they volunteered with me, and you can see how the kids and the elderly love them), and they helped me to experience all aspects of the local culture (food experiences included!). I was the only volunteer but I never felt alone. Food was delicious, always fresh and varied. Accomodation is amazing, not only the house/room, but the location as well. I have really loved this program, keep on!

Response from provider

It’s wonderful to hear that Harseerat and Kallyan made you feel so welcomed and supported throughout your stay. We’re also happy you loved the food and accommodation! Your kind words mean a lot, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime.
