💼 What the programme involves

Volunteers would compile information to convey message on peace, harmony and a safe environment having space for everyone regardless of their caste, creed and religion. They will visit 3-4 communities and interact with the people to better understand local values, culture, behaviour and prepare materials for future volunteers. The volunteers will also spend time on plantation, nurturing already planted trees, cleaning etc, do wall or pot planting with peace message promoting global peace and an environment for a better living. Since peace and environmental education and protection is the focus of the camp they will be expected to create awareness on issues like global warming, climate change, Carbon emission, sustainable lifestyle etc. while visiting local communities. The volunteers will also get an opportunity to get an exposure of other humanitarian projects, meeting with women groups, physical activity in RUCHI campus and work in communities or slums.
