Descripción:
HIV and AIDS related issues are a worldwide problem which is threatening the entire human population. There are many NGOs taking up this issue and working to tackle this problem. Each NGO adapts different methods - some work in promoting awareness whereas other NGOs work directly with people who are infected with and affected by HIV/AIDS. Volunteers applying for this field must have some prior experience or some medical background.The work is varied and will involve assisting the NGOs in their programs. The work would predominantly be awareness raising and not practical work with AIDS patients. In these organizations, volunteers will be required to help and give counselling, to work in hospitals or homes by treating patients, participating in daily care and also to provide education and social activities. The Info-sheet will have more information regarding the individual projects with schedules, and activities.
You could be staying with local families near to the project. You could be sharing rooms with 2-3 volunteers or staying on your own. Sometimes, projects provide accommodation for the volunteers. The project will provide a room that is shared by other volunteers or with the staff of the project.
Our projects are spread out across different regions in South India. Your project location could be in any one of the following locations - Bangalore, Mysore, Chennai, Kundapur, Udupi, Mangalore, North Karnataka or Pondicherry. You will be notified of the location of your project a month prior to your arrival. During the Orientation week, one can find out the leisure activities around your area. There are lots of things to do in south of India.

Most of our programmes do not require any specific skills. But as the work is humanitarian in nature, we encourage volunteers to be: O Open Minded: It is essential to be open to new ideas, situations, morals, values and ways of doing things. Things may be different from what you are used to or your existing expectations. If you remain open minded then you will be flooded with new opportunities. Broadening the mind is at the heart of inter-cultural exchange. O Flexible: Remaining flexible to ideas, people, situations and encounters is important. While working at social projects, you will be dealing with people i and people are unpredictable. Taking a flexible approach is often the best way to deal with such situations. O Creative: Taking a creative approach to your volunteer placement and work maintains motivation and, prevents routine and boredom for yourself and the project. When you start to think creatively it is amazing what can be achieved.
