Over het programma

Overview

You will be providing educational support to kindergarten children in Udaipur, aged around 4 to 5 years old, who are just beginning their school journeys.

Morning Sessions: You will teach at a local kindergarten in the mornings, as the afternoons is focused on teaching Hindi to children from primarily lower middle-income families. These schools aim to provide quality education to the children of tuk-tuk (autorickshaw) drivers, housemaids, office maids, unskilled labourers, and other everyday Rajasthani families with average facilities. The school’s teachers can translate basic English, but your support is needed to teach young children English.

The children will be thrilled to meet you and exceptionally welcoming, thanks to the natural friendliness of Rajasthani’s, especially children, and the rarity of meeting Westerners.

The teaching program is informal, much like kindergartens worldwide, where the children will be more interested in playing with you than ‘formal’ learning. Your help will boost their confidence and improve their English, benefiting them in many ways in the future.

The kindergarten school operates from 08:00 to 12:00.

Key Points for Volunteers:
• Be creative to make the project more interesting.
• Adapt to the school administration, teachers, and children.
• Stay organised and plan daily programs with teaching handbooks and coordinator input.
• Be active and willing to research lesson planning, with guides available.
• Communicate effectively with children and teachers, work as a team, and cooperate with the local coordinator or other participants.
• Maintain a presentable appearance and gauge the capacity of different students.
• Consult our Coordinators if you encounter any difficulties.

Community Outreach School
Our Community Outreach program is located in Udaipur, where most children attend school, with some staying at the school’s boarding facility due to various difficulties. These schools primarily focus on the vernacular language, resulting in students needing training in written and spoken English, hygienic habits, environmental awareness, behavioural skills, and more.

At the community outreach centre, about 30 girls aged 10 to 16 attend the program. These children live in the school’s hostel facility as they come from distant, under-developed villages. Their families have odd jobs and earn very little, making it difficult to support their children’s education.

Evening Sessions: Assist in teaching these enthusiastic girls by helping with their homework. Classes are held in the evenings after regular school hours. Besides conventional teaching methods, games and activities may be used to teach the children.

The project runs from 16:00 to 18:00.

Purpose of the After-School Outreach Project:
• To teach English and develop the children’s English skills.
• To help children envision future white-collar jobs.
• To promote hygienic and environmental awareness.
• To impart behavioural skills for respectful interactions and gender relations.
• To identify and develop the children’s talents.
• To facilitate cultural and language exchange.
• To take the children on educational outings to parks, museums, art theatres, and libraries to enhance their knowledge.

Location

Our programs are close to Udaipur, often referred to as the “City of Lakes,” is a picturesque city located in the Indian state of Rajasthan. Nestled among the Aravalli Hills, it boasts a stunning landscape of shimmering lakes, lush greenery, and majestic palaces. Udaipur’s rich cultural heritage is evident in its well-preserved architecture, including the grand City Palace, the serene Jag Mandir, and the iconic Lake Palace situated in the middle of Lake Pichola.

Project Tasks

The aims & objectives are to help the kids grow in their confidence and learn better English which will help them in many ways in the future and also to provide a global platform for the students of Udaipur by interacting in English and to share the best practices in the education system.

Over de organisatie

IVI are a non profit org with 28 years experience providing responsible volunteer placements in 15 countries worldwide. We help you connect with inspiring opportunities

Ontmoet je organisatie

Involvement Volunteers International delivers positive social change to developing communities and vulnerable populations through local, national & international volunteering.  Our projects empower the skilled & un-skilled to catalyse the efforts of local partners in creating a better world.


WHO WE ARE

Founded in 1989, IVI is a pioneer of overseas volunteering.  Back when there was no internet and phones were a luxury in many parts of the world, we traveled to developing countries in search of credible NGO's in need of manpower and global volunteer resources.  Some of the many relationships we forged are utilized to this day. 

We are passionate about volunteering and giving back to society and in particular developing communities which are less fortunate than us.  In this way, we combine travelling with volunteering to help people make a positive impact overseas.

SOCIAL EXPERIENCES
All of IVI’s projects have a strong social element at the core.  With more manpower (& womanpower!) we can truly catalyse the efforts of our local partners.  This means you're sure to meet loads of like-minded people from all parts of the world.   This type of experience truly broadens your understanding of the world and yourself, opening your heart to new enlightened ways of thinking .   With your new found travel companions, you'll have plenty of opportunity to explore and have fun!  

Our projects create a unique platform to experience the true heart and soul of a destination rather than simply the tourist areas.   We'll involve you in meaningful & responsible volunteer work that really benefits the local communities.

AFFORDABLE VOLUNTEER TRAVEL
As a non profit org, we are not motivated by shareholder profits.  Our fee structure is fully transparent to ensure volunteers hard earned money is going directly to the areas where it is most needed.  It is vitally important to us that the presence of volunteers has a positive and sustainable impact on the local communities we work with.   

We charge a one off US$275 application fee per volunteer to cover the running of IVI including administration overheads, project inspection costs, marketing, and salaries.

The program fee starts at $150 p/week and goes straight to the in country management to cover arrival airport transfers, on the ground coordination, orientation, accommodation, meals, in country 24/7 project support, project development, donations and related administration costs.   

In comparison to many of our competitors, our programs are incredible value.

SAFETY & RESPONSIBLE PROGRAMS
With approx 80-90% of our volunteers being single young female travelers, volunteer safety is of the utmost importance.  All of our projects include a dedicated 24/7 in-country management support contact as well as a dedicated placement manager pre/post journey.  This ensures you will be cared for every step of the way.    The local teams are highly experienced and qualified to manage emergency situations.

All IVI projects have been personally inspected to ensure the standards meet necessary guidelines for quality and safety.  In addition, we monitor and maintain communication with local embassies to oversee potential issues in order to notify volunteers and their families accordingly.   

Our Australian team are available 24/7 and only a phone call away.

Our responsibility also extends to the local people which is why volunteers working in childcare related fields must provide a criminal background check before they travel.   Our ultimate goal is the long term development of the communities we work with, hence we work closely with our local partners to ensure that projects are needs driven and sustainable. 

SUPPORT

From your very first inquiry, right through to your welcome home, you'll have the same dedicated volunteer manager at every stage.  We are experts in the field and will provide you in depth insights about what to expect and how to prepare to ensure you have an amazing experience overseas.  Every project includes a detailed welcome pack which provides all aspects needed such as in country contacts, what to pack, cultural values, basic language guides and much much more.   

On arrival at your destination, you'll be greeted by one of our in-country team and in many cases 1 week orientation is provided to help ease you into the way of life and ensure you're equipped with the right customs to ensure a successful volunteer abroad experience.  

FUN!
Volunteering abroad is quite possibly the most rewarding experience you will have in your life!   We know this not only through our own experiences, but through the testimonies from thousands of volunteers we have successfully placed worldwide over 27+ years in operation.  Volunteering overseas is not only rewarding.   It's fun!   You're meeting new people, you're seeing new sights, and you're expanding your understanding of yourself and the world.  You're experiencing something real and life changing in many ways...
