Descripción:
Situated on the west coast (Arabian Sea), Goa was the former Portuguese colony in India. It is one of India s most cherished and prominent locations for travelers since many years for its remarkable palm-fringed beaches. The workcamp involves teaching children about basic English and Mathematics, Health and Hygiene, and Environmental protection through creative learning methods like art, music, games etc. There will also be house visits and meetings with local rural people as part of inter-cultural learning and to give awareness on health, education and hygiene. Volunteers can take the school children to places in the city like picnics, exposure visits and city walks. As part of the cultural exchange, volunteers will witness and participate in the cultural programs with local community. Volunteers need to come up with ideas for the program on their arrival, after which the whole group will settle on a plan of action decided by the team. The workcamp will focus mainly in schools/orphanages and volunteers will visit the surrounding areas to impart the message given through presentations, puppet shows and dramas/plays.
