This street children NGO project appears well organized and smoothly run. It was completely adverse to what I expected but I have a wild and eccentric imagination. I had thought it would literally be unorganized with kids of and of the street, the school, uniform and equipment, books etc was refreshing and I do get an impression that this will make an large difference to these kids lives.

Overall I found it an interesting experience. To be close with the children, to teach them, play with them, I really loved it I loved teaching the children.

It’s really nice to see how the children make progress in just a short time and that’s really rewarding. I got many experience during my stay in India and I’ve learned a lot of the things I’ve lived during the program.

I had an amazing time with the kids in street children school project and I would do it again immediately, I became truly attached to them and would love to take them with me but happily they have their families and don’t need to be adopted. It was a great experience and an amazing time teaching the kids and gets to know them better everyday, I’m going to miss them very much on my last day it was breaking my heart to say goodbye to them.
- Anne Schoenemann
The children are great and it is a pleasure to get to know them. It is great that Sankalp NGO has taken the initiative to provide a school for them. Overall I have had a positive experience. Thanks for having me!!! The children are amazing and the new teacher is very nice.

I enjoyed experiencing the culture and having the other volunteers around. At the school for street children I was little apprehensive about teaching, as I haven’t really done this before but everything was okay after couple of days :) I liked the fact that we had free times and volunteer were able to explore Jaipur.
