Our aim is to create awareness among the people and to give them more instruments to feel confident and feel free to decide for their future, and for the future of a new generation. FSL-India cooperates with several local NGOs in assisting various government schools by creating awareness about the environment; health and hygiene; working with local schools in teaching basic English and Math through creative learning methods; simple renovation activities like building toilets, painting, tree planting etc. The mission of this project is to:61656;Organize a multi-purpose project to involve the community and sensitize community/people about the Health and Hygiene problems.61656;Educate the children to build a better and more conscious society.61656;Education and awareness on environmental issues to children and villagers.61656;Work with other NGOs in community service projects.The kind of schedule and the focus of the project will be adapted to the season, the possibilities and the needs of the moment, to improve the achievements in a long-term view. Every camp will be different. The work could be with orphan/school/street/slum children. The info sheets will give the full details about the particular camps.Due to rapid development in recent years, Bangalore has to deal with environmental problems such as water pollution, air pollution, noise pollution, solid waste management etc. Recognising these concerns, FSL-India organises camps so as to address the environmental issues. To organise the camps, FSL-India cooperates with several local organisations that work on environmental issues. It focuses on a variety of short-term projects which include environmental protection, afforestation, tree planting, working along several NGOs to spread health and hygiene awareness among the community people. The work will vary largely in the camps and will include some simple physical work.
Accommodation: In a rented Guest house or Hostel, with shared rooms. Accommodation can vary a lot in our camps from youth hostels, guest houses, lodges etc. The accommodation will be simple but comfortable and clean, so be prepared to live a simple lifestyle during these two weeks. Food: Indian food will be provided for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Filtered water is always available for drinking purposes. FSL-India has been running workcamps all over India since 2001. Over the years, FSL-India has developed a strong network of local partners and local volunteers in the regions where we conduct our camps. In every workcamp, FSL-India works in partnershipwith local NGOs i since they are able to identify the problems and needs of the locality. This helps us achieve sustainability and a larger impact in the work that we do. Partnering with a local NGO also helps in reaching out to the local community. In addition, FSL-India works in various fields in cooperation with Archaeological Survey of India, Ministry of Women and Child Welfare, Ministry of Health, Education, Forest and Wildlife Departments and Local Self-governance Bodies.
