Program Overview

Do you have a passion for Theatre, travelling and helping young children? With VWI we offer people like you the fantastic opportunity to teach underprivileged young children living in the iconic Pink City of Jaipur. During your time on the programme you will be placed in a local school or orphanage where you’ll have the freedom to create and organise your very own programme.

You will be giving training to help children for their local performance such as teaching theater, to improve focus, making the set, design them, music selection, making the masks and organize the program for children. We don’t need an expert actor, director or an artist. We just want our volunteers to offer love to children, to make them good theater actors and to help the ones that are talented but they are shy or just not able to bring it out.

Volunteers in the past have put on plays, taught dance routines, made masks/puppets, and facilitated scenes from well-known scripts. You may also consider teaching the children core performance techniques (acting, singing, dancing), scenes from musicals, or how to make their own costumes.

Unforgetable experience in jaipur

I joined the theater programm at the child care center in jaipur. From the beginning of my volunteer work i felt very well and good supported. My coordinator und driver picked me every day up from the guest house and brought me in the afternoon to the center. In the morning i prepared different activities for the children. My coordinator supported me in all my ideas and translated it in hindu. The work matched perfect between us. We prepared pantomime games, circle games, dance activities and other funny games, where the children could express themselves. The team in the center was so nice and helpful and welcomed me in such a kind and nice way. It was such an amazing, deeply touching experience with the children. I can absolutely recommend this programm for volunteers. " volunteeringwithindia" is the perfect organisation. I really appreciated the work of the team from " volunteeringwithindia". I will never ever forget this beautiful experience. India became my second home. I really loved to experienced this amazing culture.

My experience

We participated in the program for two weeks and the experience was unique and unforgettable. We felt super welcomed and comfortable all the time, both at the workplace and at the guest house where we stayed. We received all the necessary support from the program, both from the people in charge of coordinating and organizing, and from the people who accompanied us during classes, trips and transfers. We felt like family, very cared for and pampered. At the house we ate delicious food every day and we felt very well looked after by the family we shared with. As for the work in the workshop, it was a challenge for us since we had to propose the activities and carry them out with children who do not speak our language, but the result was always super positive. The children were really lovely, super participative and happy. We were never alone, always in the company of staff who helped us with the organization of the group and the translation. Jaipur is an incredible city with a lot to explore and see, full of history, culture, architecture and landscapes that are worth experiencing. I think it's important to clarify that we felt super safe all the time, both on the street and in the work or rest spaces. Visiting India and participating in the volunteer program was something super different and totally new for us, to the point of doubting whether or not we were prepared to do it. But the reality is that everything is set up so that the experience is friendly and we can contribute our grain of sand by helping those who really need it and give a different meaning to our trip. We are super grateful to the entire Volunteering Whit India team.

I learned so much and had the best experience. I hope to come again

I was picked up at the airport without any problems and the taxi was always on time. Always a friendly and happy transport service! Very nice accommodations and friendly host family. We had good and enjoyable food. Brilliant project staff. Everyone was very helpful and Govind was a very big help and always keen to assist with the teaching. I did not know what to expect and was a little nervous to begin with. But everyone made it very easy. The children were an inspiration and it was a pleasure to attend and teach them all. I bonded very quickly and it was hard to say goodbye and my tears almost came when one boy was upset that I was leaving. I would tell everyone to grab this opportunity with both hands. It's amazing!
