Hi everyone!
I entered a thread before the summer to ask you folks about volunteering in India. Now I am writing to you AFTER the 4 most amazing weeks of my life, spent living with and helping out at an orphanage in Bangalore. I wanted to share the name of the organization I traveled/volunteered with for anyone who is interested in such an INCREDIBLE experience. Check it out: http://www.ivtindia.org/index.htm The President and Founder of IVT India is called J R Dwarakanath NAIDU. He is the most generous, knowledgeable, kind man ever! He can be reached at: breakingbarriers@ivtindia.org or jrdwarakanath@gmail.com If you want to get involved with children in India -in person or by far, this is THE place/person you want to contact! |

The cost look really steep [1] [2]
1 month / 4.3 weeks : 360 US Dollars = 15,750 Rupees!! 2 months / 9 weeks : 720 US Dollars Internship Fee: US $100 per month + the program participation fee so it comes to 20,000 rs ? Was just thinking about my time at secmol where food + accommodation came to 9,000 Rs

They do state that such fees are their source of income.
