India. Volunteers will be encouraged to "multi task". Many areas cry for the touch of motivated, loving volunteers. Volunteers can gather children together to teach the English language (and learn some Hindi along the way). Those with medical knowledge can perform basic checks while teaching the basics of health and hygiene. Those with construction experience can help the villagers build the school. This trip involves traveling to New Delhi and enjoying the amenities of the city; however, the Village of Manjharia is remote. While in the village, volunteers will be "roughing it". Tents and sleeping bags will provide shelter and comfort. Hot meals will be provided.
