Additional Information:
Volunteer during with gap year with this organisation in Chennai that runs transit schools to motivate these young people back into mainstream education. This organisation focuses on integrated community development, running several programmes in youth development, vocational training, income generation and health care initiatives. Projects are spread out all over Chennai, reaching out to the city’s most deprived communities. Volunteers are needed to help in transit schools, and schools for children rescued from child labour. Children attend these schools for 11 months, after which they are placed in mainstream education. The focus is on motivating children to see the benefits of education as well as enjoying it, so classes are a mix of academic subjects and activity-based learning. As a gap year volunteer you would be placed in one or more of these schools. This could involve moving around the city of Chennai holding classes in different locations. You would be required to teach conversational English and other informal activities (sports, games, arts and crafts etc.) to make education as enjoyable as possible for the children. Use your imagination to inspire theirs! This is a wonderful gap year voluntary project where your imagination and enthusiasm will make a real difference the lives of these young children. See these young children grow in knowledge and determination, working their way to a better future.
