Many of the children in India which lives in rural and backward areas are not able to attend school due to poverty. However there is Government School also available in these regions but the level of education & school supplies is very low. Most of time the school in these regions are closed and the Teachers which were appointed by government do not attend classes. We are running a Teaching Program in a school which is always shortage of teachers. There are around 200 kids come everyday and local staff needs to shift from once class to other. This affect the class everyday and the students do not have class teachers to teach them every day. They always wait for the teachers to come and attend them. By joining us a Volunteer Teaching Program you can help us to give proper classes everyday and help our kids. The children which we have are affecting from poverty and do not able to pay private school fees. The power of education cannot be denied by anyone, but there are many children in rural India who are devoid of basic education due to financial constraints. Every year there are many foreign tourists enter to travel India with the purpose of carrying teaching volunteer work in India along with traveling and cultural exchange. They can join the program and contribute a little to this noble cause. With English becoming a global language for communication now, it becomes imperative to teach English to the kids. The teaching volunteer project executed by VWI is one such effort. With the help of our local team members in rural areas where these children get free daily education and stationery; Teaching Volunteer Program sites in Jaipur, India and we aim towards increasing the number considerably. The children at the program center are in the age group from 5 to 12 years old. Our aim is to build a solid base for children so that they can go confidently for higher education.
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” – Nelson Mandela

PROGRAM DETAILS

Education is the basis for development of any society. We have taken this initiative to help the children of the villages in Jaipur attain basic Teaching English education. We aim at making education an interesting affair for children by offering several extracurricular activities like drama, sports too along with the basic teaching. The dropout rate in the villages is high due to the bad financial conditions and parents prefer their children to assist them in work rather than sending them to school. The program also strives to decrease the dropout rate by convincing parents to send their children to school. We also offer free books and stationary to children.

WORK FOR VOLUNTEERS

The volunteers associated with this program will be entitled to a number of tasks. The schools in the rural & backward areas have teachers appointed but sadly they are not well versed with the English language and also we have shortage of English Teaching Volunteers. Volunteers will be required to not only teach basic English & Mathematics to the children but also help local teachers to improve their skills which will be helpful for them in future. It will also be on the volunteers to organize activities like dance, music, games and painting in the teaching program to create a fun learning environment which will motivate children to be regular to the classes. The focus will have to help children develop their skills. The volunteers can also assist in other subjects like Arts, drawing and science as per their interest.

I had a wonderful time in India doing the teaching Project in Jaipur with VWI for 6 weeks. I met with many people and made a lot of Indian friends, ate a lot of delicious Indian food, and traveled to a lot of beautiful historical places. I really enjoyed the time I spent at the school center, the time I worked with kids made me understand the meaning of life. I spent about 6 weeks with kids in August- September. The climate is good here in Jaipur as the rain stopped passed away during these months and the entire city which is covered by mountain look pretty by the greenery. In School sometimes kids were very naughty, but sometimes they make me in so much love; they gave me their toys; give their notebook to write my name and they get around me most of the time when I in the classroom. I was so happy and excited with kids every day; they made my heart soft and warm. They don’t know what’s good and bad; they are pure and natural. I hope they grow up happily and healthily.
I was living in the Indian Host Family. A caretaker cleaned my room every day. The host family prepares 3 meals per day for me Breakfast, lunch and dinner. All the meals which they served me during my placement was so delicious. But actually, I haven’t spent a lot of time in the apartment because I spent a lot of time with my Indian friends. The VWI team members invited me to their houses to have dinners. Their parents and other family members were also very hospitable. I not only tried a lot of local snacks, but also traveled to a lot of beautiful spots because they recommended me many beautiful places.
There are hundreds of Gods in India, and my friends have told me some of their legends, like cobra God or the God with an elephant face. The stories are so mysterious, and I think it’s really interesting to know about them. I didn’t meet a lot of cultural shock in India, instead of some interesting cultural habits. My Indian friends taught me how to use hand to have dinner; I saw cows walk in the street freely and even the crowded traffic cannot disturb them. Every family has their own beliefs, and they believe in their Gods very firmly. Everything is fine in India except traffic, and I was afraid to cross the road, because all cars, autos, motorcycles are very fast. I learned one skill in India: bargain with auto men. I not only had to tell the auto man go by meter, but also tell him please go fast or he would choose a longer distance for charging more money.
Anyway, it was an unforgettable experience for me. I like Indian people, Indian culture, and Indian food. I will definitely recommend to my friend because it will give you a beautiful and unforgettable memory.

Arriving at New Delhi Airport to the amazing bustle, noise, colours and crowds that are unique to India, I felt a little bit nervous and was wondering what my next four weeks of teaching English in an Indian school, away from my friends and family, would bring me. After arrival to Airport I come jaipur by a Volvo bus which was so luxuries IT took 4 hours to reach the Jaipur. The VWI team member tapan was waiting me at the Bus Stand he drop me at my host family. My host was so nice and lovable they welcome me very well manner. They said me Namaste ( Hello ) that was my first Hindi word which i learn on first day. I was having a very neat and clean room with attach bathroom.

During my school time I had to teach 3 hours in different sections of classes. and I then had the afternoons off to sleep, use the internet, plan lessons, do some marking or go shopping in the town. Peoples here in India are so friendly you can’t feel yourself stuck at any place,everybody is so helping. The experience of teaching gave me so much confidence and taught me new skills but I also found that learning about the Indian culture and customs was just as an important and valuable part of my trip. I wear salwar suit, the traditional dress for rajasthani women, eat and learn so many Indian dishes. I really feel myself fall in love with the culture of a country so different to my town. I have taken away from my trip many fantastic memories, brilliant new friends, new skills and confidence and an excellent feeling and able to understand why this part of World called Incredible India.

The accommodation was better than expected. Jaipur is a nice place to live and work as a volunteer. The city has everything to see. It’s best then Delhi as I found no hassle in anything.

My week with VWI in Jaipur was a wonderful experience. Teaching the children was hard work, but their enthusiasm and willingness to learn made it all worthwhile. My last day, when we all danced together, was very emotional and something I will treasure forever.
India is a fascinating country: the traffic in Jaipur is unbelievable and the complete contrast in culture to England is staggering. I was certainly out of my “comfort zone” but never at any time did I feel in any way threatened — the people were extremely friendly and curious!
VWI is a very good and authentic organisation who looked after me very well throughout my stay.I also met several people from TAABAR who do so much good work in the community.
As I say in the headline: ” The experience of a lifetime”

 

There could perhaps be more emphasis on translation from English phrases to Indian ( and back again)

Example: My name is John

The children need to know the equivalent Indian phrase to be able to better understand what they are learning when writing and saying the words

Overall though, a very impressive programme
