I accompanied my 29 year old daughter to Jaipur to do a 2 week volunteer program for street children with Sankalp NGO and I must say it was a rewarding and educational experience for both of us. I had some reservations due to my age and I feared the "culture shock" a little, but these were quickly dispelled once I listened to detailed and carefully prepared orientation, and once I met the other volunteers. It was a joy to be in such a diverse group of people, young and old, from all over the world.
