volunteers. Citizens of all countries ought to view their own
country Govt. web site or contact embassy of their home country.
For more information you should contact your local embassy or
check their website because each country can be different.
Generally it is very easy, but we strongly recommend applying
for a Tourist Visa. The important reason to apply a Tourist Visa
is that you will be providing all services like pickup,
transport, food, accommodation and others under a Tour Package.

to Delhi for the starting date of your program and flight
details must be given to us by email before arriving. On arrival

Free Time – There will be plenty of time to relax in the
evenings and weekends. In general volunteers tend to visit the
local countryside, read, write their diaries, play sports and
plan excursions to local points of interest. Most Friday
evenings, volunteers arrange a get together to celebrate the end
of the working week.
Health Issues and Vaccinations - Some countries require
or suggest persons going abroad to have themselves vaccinated
prescribed before departure and on entering the country abroad.
It would be fair to view your country's government website for
more information regarding the health of travelers. It is also
recommended to visit the nearest travel clinic prior to your

often in conditions you are not used to, can take a toll on the
body and mind.
