About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

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 partnership with local NGOs – 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.

💼 What the programme involves

* Construction of household toilets for 6-7 tribal families. * Painting – wall and educational painting * Creative education activities for school children - Teaching basic English, Mathematics, Environment education and Health and Hygiene awareness through songs, art, games, painting etc. * Celebrate international Energy free day * Inter-Cultural evening in the school * Country presentation * International cooking * 2 day Local sightseeing. * Visits and interaction with tribal families * Cultural visits. * Inauguration ceremony at the end of the camp NOTE: You may have to deal with unexpected situations. Sometimes changes related to the project and work schedule could happen due to the weather and availability of skilled labour. We expect volunteers to cooperate with the team leaders in such situations.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accommodation: In a rented house, with shared rooms. The accommodation will be simple but comfortable and clean, so be prepared to live a simple lifestyle during these five weeks. We expect volunteers to keep the accommodation clean and tidy, during the workcamp. A cleaning team will be appointed every week and the volunteers will be responsible for cleaning the house daily. You are requested to bring a sleeping bag, as there are no cots and you will be sleeping on the floor. We will provide a sleeping mattress, pillow and bed-sheet. There is no availability of internet in the accommodation. The internet cafe is 20 minutes walkable distance from the accommodation. The accommodation is located in a rural village so there will be power cuts in the accommodation. There is no washing machine facility in the house. However, there is a provision to wash clothes by hand or you may give your clothes to a local laundry which charges about Rupees 30 to wash a shirt / pant. Food: South Indian vegetarian food will be provided for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There is no cooking facilities in the accommodation. Filtered water is always available for drinking purposes.

📍 About the location

Free Time: Weekends are free! The volunteers will not work on Saturdays and Sundays. They can plan their free time accordingly. The camp leaders are there to provide you with the necessary information about interesting excursions and trips around the camp site. Incase, we are falling behind schedule with the construction work, you will be required to put in extra hours on Saturdays. Please note that on the second weekend (2nd week), our Team Leaders will organize a 2 day sightseeing and cultural trip – the expenses for this 2 day trip will be paid by FSL India. Expenses for other weekend excursions will be borne by the volunteers. If you plan to travel on weekends, please make sure that you use public transportation like buses and avoid hiring private transportation. We would also like to suggest that you avoid visiting places that requires more than 4 hours travel by bus. Your safety is a main concern for us and we request your cooperation in this regard.
