EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION
Play, sing and draw. You offer the “extra” attention at-risk kids crave and deserve, while also mentoring them in life skills and self-reliance.
An Adventure of the Heart in India!
Volunteer in India and improve children’s early start in life! Help once-homeless youth in Chennai reach their full potential through games, English lessons, homework assistance, and by helping to improve their living facilities. At the same time, you experience all the color, music, art and flavor of Indian culture. Travel with us – a long-standing non-profit leader in worldwide volunteering.
Give. Explore. Care. Make Friends. Be a Global Volunteer.
