Descripción:
Many NGOs and local initiatives in India work for the welfare of street children or working children, and FSL-India is one of them. The aim is to take these children away from the streets and from their working place in order to give them a chance to live a decent and balanced life. By placing them in centres, boarding schools and or day-care shelters, the children return to the regular schooling system and/or to train them in vocational activities to give them skills that will help them to find a decent job and keep them away from exploitation. Much of the development work in street children projects is based on education known also as alternative education. Therefore the volunteers will be required to teach in most of the projects where they work with street children. So an interest in teaching and a love for children is essential in this project, like all teaching projects. Other work activities will involve supporting the staff in the daily running of the schools. A creative approach to work will be useful and you will have the opportunity to initiate new mini projects or activities. You will need to take a flexible approach to the work and you should be prepared to undertake a variety of tasks. In some cases the volunteer will be required to go amidst the tent community to raise awareness of the teaching program, gain interest and collect children. If you have many ideas in teaching different kinds of activities such as games, songs, arts and crafts or sports and athletics to children, then this type of project is for you
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. 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.
What is needed to be an LTV We welcome anybody who is interested to participate in our voluntary programs regardless of age, sex, religious belief, ethnicity or sexual orientation. 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.
