- The teaching projects are closed during vacations and public holidays.
ARRIVAL AT YOUR DESTINATION
Upon arrival at Jaipur International Airport (JAI), the local coordinator will pick you up and take you to the place where you will stay until the end of your volunteer project.
Depending on the time you arrive, you will be guided, where you will be told in general the basic rules of the house and the place where it is located. In addition, the program to be developed will be explained.
VACCINE
We suggest that you consult with your medical advisor about recommended vaccinations for this region, as in most Asian countries vaccinations are not mandatory depending on where you travel.
VISA TO ENTER INDIA
A visa is required to enter India. They have a maximum duration of 60 days. The procedure can be done through the official website of the e-Visa.
It is very easy to apply for this visa. You fill in the form, make the payment ( 50 ? plus) and proceed to send it to you by e-mail. It is possible that it will take a while for the mail to arrive, since they must first confirm the payment.
If the application is accepted, the word Granted should appear in the status section. This authorization must be printed out and carried with you throughout your trip.
SECURITY INDIA
India is considered a safe country. But nothing is perfect, and as in many countries of the world you have to take certain precautions and know how to handle in certain areas.
In general, tourist areas are safe, but we also recommend that you keep these details in mind:
- Notify your coordinator, in case of any excursion.
- Have your coordinator’s phone number and the address where you are staying.
- Avoid giving information about where you are staying, about the project and your colleagues (volunteers).
- Do not take anyone who is not from the organization to the volunteer’s home.
- Avoid risk areas in every place you visit.
- Travel in austerity in your daily transfers and in your excursions.
- Avoid attracting attention with jewelry and accessories.
- If you can avoid taking out your mobile phone in public places.
- Try to use the country’s safe transport services.
- Avoid walking alone or alone on unfamiliar streets.
- Never get in an unknown vehicle or yours to someone you don’t know.
- Do not ingest any beverage from which you do not know the origin.
HOST FAMILY ACCOMMODATION
Volunteers stay in houses of host families intended for volunteers in central areas and outside of Jaipur.
- Living with the host family gives you the opportunity to volunteer to learn in a more authentic way about India, taste local food, learn the local language and learn more about local customs and traditions.
WHAT DOES THE ACCOMMODATION INCLUDE IN THE VOLUNTEERING IN INDIA?
- Bed in a shared room with other volunteers.
