Why it is important
Delhi, alone, is said to have more than 0.2 million children living on streets, railway tracks, traffic signals, and other roadside areas. Most of these children are runaways from home, due to physical abuse and poverty.
Many are orphans, who have no relatives to live with, and are forced by misfortune to live such a life. These children can be seen scavenging the rubbish heap for a meal, sleeping between the tracks, often beaten and sexually abused, falling prey to drug peddlers and child traffickers.
The project
Through extensive volunteer work in the street children program in India - Delhi this situation can be tried to be dealt with. Volunteers work at the various contact points or shelter homes, being run by various organizations, which serve as day care centers for these street children.
Volunteer work
The street children volunteer program in India requires a high amount of dedication and personal involvement from the volunteers. A generic list of tasks to be done by the participants under this program includes work, such as;
Volunteers joining the street children program in India are required to follow a basic routine on a daily basis. This covers everything from meals to volunteer work and back.
It must be noted that every placement functions at a different pace and on separate time-lines making the schedule slightly differ at times. A generic daily schedule for volunteers is as follows;
During the free time volunteers can visit the local markets, visit internet cafes and the different restaurants in Delhi and try out the different Indian cuisines. During weekends volunteers visit the neighboring states of Rajasthan and Himachal Pradesh. Our specialised Travel Desk can help you to book tours to any part of India or to neighboring countries like, Nepal.
Airport pickup is provided between 6:00 am and 10:00 pm. Our local coordinator in Delhi will be there at the airport to receive the volunteers and transfer them to their accommodation place.
While volunteering in Delhi you would be staying at one of our Volunteer home base in South Delhi. The accommodations are neat and clean and provide volunteers a home away from home, while you are in Delhi.
The volunteer house is equipped with wifi internet, filtered drinking water, hot water showers(during winters), air conditioning (during summers), satellite television, modern toilets and comfortable beds. The home is close to useful amenities like, banks, ATM’s, currency ex-changers, restaurants, cafes and shopping arcades.
All placements are around 10 - 30 minutes from the homes and volunteers travel to the placements everyday and come back home in the evenings.
Volunteers joining the Street Children Program in India needs to arrive at the Indira Gandhi International Airport on the same date as the program start date. This program is available throughout the year with different start dates each month.
