I joined the teaching program. From the beginning, I was amazed by the talent of the children in the village. They were so much keen to learn. My volunteering work duration was four week which does not seem enough for me. I would like to come back and do the volunteering again. I would like to say thanks to “Shake hands” team for making my volunteering experience so nice.

Teaching Volunteer Project

Though there exist many institutions including Government organizations engaged in the sector of education to promote education and make the new generation literate. But with every institution in the sector of education there exist a number of problems and the one is scarcity of teaching staff to cope up with the growing population. The scarcity of teachers could be noticed in primary level schools run by local Government in rural areas. Since the very base on which progressive higher education is dependent on primary education and it’s a strong educational foundation is of immeasurable importance to the social development of any community. Therefore to assist the teaching staff in Government Primary Schools in rural and remote areas. We decided to take help of international volunteers so that solid base of education at primary level is constituted and the children are prepared to accept challenge of higher education fearlessly in future.

The activities you’ll be doing
Teaching Program is run in Government Primary Schools in rural areas of different state of India. The volunteers will work in the schools and organize various enjoyable and creative activities for the children to sharpen their talents and increase the knowledge. The volunteers work continuously to explore the hidden talent in the children and to promote them. Local children also learn different skills and methodologies in study programs from volunteers that they otherwise would not learn. A mutual exchange of skills and experiences enrich both the ends. The volunteers might find that they learn as much as from them as they from the volunteers. The volunteers will assist in a wide variety of chosen subjects and activities, including English, Mathematics, arts and sports. Since volunteer activities are organized in Government Schools where acute shortage of teachers exists, the volunteers are therefore expected to focus mainly on the syllabus being taught in the Schools.

A day in the life of a volunteer
On working days, volunteers usually get up and have breakfast before leaving for their Volunteer Placements. Our staff will provide transportation to and from your Volunteer Placement if required. You will probably spend about four hours at your Volunteer Placement. Evenings will be filled with opportunities to learn about the local culture and customs, field trips to places of local interest, discussions with experts on local issues and others. Evening meal-times provide another exciting chance to enjoy authentic food provided by host family/our staff cooks. The food is delicious and healthy and takes full advantage of local cooking traditions. The evenings and weekends are free time, to relax or explore the local area. Volunteers often travel to other parts of the country at weekends, and the staff who are all from the local area themselves, are always happy to make recommendations.
