This program is designed to make the most out of education that is tailored to individuals with special needs. Volunteers in this program will be assisting and helping in the education of people with various mental and physical disabilities in the city of Jaipur. A well-known Indian City, Jaipur is close to Dehli making it easy to get to and making transport to any destination in India quite accessible. Jaipur was established by the then Maharaja, Sawai Jai Singh in the year 1927.
Volunteer with children who are mentally and physically handicapped in a variety of areas like education, therapy, and care.
Vocational training is also available for volunteers that are handy in certain areas. The children are divided into groups according to the type of disability that they might have.
Volunteers are of great help by teaching children how to do day-to-day tasks like cooking, using household appliances, etc. This prepares them to transition into adulthood later on in life. Therapy is an important aspect of the special education volunteer program.
Volunteer Tasks:
- Observation and record-keeping of each child.
- Teaching basic subjects like math, shapes, colors, reading, and other subjects at a very basic level through games.
- Help local staff in preparing meals.
