VOLUNTEER

An organization cannot function without its people. To a charity organization, volunteers are its people. Volunteers may not necessarily have the time, yet they always have the heart. They don’t ask for any money because the work they do is priceless.

We provide one of the most fulfilling volunteering programs in the world. Not only will you get a chance to make a difference, but you also will make lifelong friends and gain valuable skills during the time. The program will be completely unique for each individual, suited exactly to their needs. For instance, premed students should expect to be shadowing local medical staff initially, but then may work within the field they are most interested in like pediatrics. Types of individualized tracks range in healthcare to childcare to teaching to patient outreach. 

Volunteers will live and work at our partner medical college and hospital, Raipur Institute of Medical Sciences. 

Sample Schedule:

On the weekdays volunteers may have a morning or afternoon shift, or both, and can expect to work a minimum of 4 hours, Monday through Friday.

A typical daily schedule would be as follows:

      8:00 AM to 9:00 AM – Breakfast at the volunteer
      accommodation.

      9:00 AM to 1:00 PM – Work at the placement commences, if
      you have been assigned a morning shift.

      1:00 PM to 2:00 PM – Break for lunch

      2:00 PM to 5:00 PM – Work at the placement commences, if
      you have been assigned an afternoon shift.

     5:00 PM to 7:00 PM – You are free to travel back to the
     volunteer house for rest, go sightseeing, or do some
     shopping.

​
On the weekends, you will have the freedom to travel to sightseeing spots.


Please note, this is an example schedule as some projects take place in the afternoon. Start time and daily workload depends on the project that the individual volunteer is participating on.
