About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

This project has been organized in partnership with a local community-based organization called the Cultural and Environmental Organisation since 2022. The organization primarily focuses on improving the lives of individuals in the tea estate sector. Their key initiatives include conducting awareness programs for women s groups and youth, promoting home gardening, facilitating income-generating activities, and implementing savings schemes.

💼 What the programme involves

During our project period, first 4 days we plan to visit an orphanage. Volunteers will engage with the children through simple yet enjoyable activities such as games, painting, acting, and other creative projects. While some children may be reserved and prefer to stay within their comfort zones, our goal is to connect with every child and encourage their participation.Following the orphanage visits, we will meet with a family, village youths, and kindergarten children. During this time, volunteers will have the opportunity to share their personal experiences and life stories with the local communities, fostering a sense of connection and understanding.
