What is involved
When you join our family volunteering holidays you will be living in the laid back and tropical vibe of Fort Kochi in Kerala, Southern India. Voted in the top 10 cities to visit in 2024 by CNN Traveller, we can assure you that you will simply fall in love with the location as well the projects. We allocate our family volunteers to our teaching programs helping from Kindergarten to general teaching (6-12 year olds) or school renovations where you would be painting or fixing classrooms. Fort Kochi is an absolute gem of a destination in South India, popularly referred to as “God’s Own Country” due to its rustic colonial era charm, lush backwaters, gorgeous beaches, serene tea plantations, rich culture, and delightfully sumptuous cuisine. While other parts of India can be too large and overwhelming for some families, Kerala is an amazing sanctuary for those looking for a family friendly, scenic and safe environment.
Our teaching projects in Kerala are created in a way that allow families to interact with local children and teachers at an intimate level. We have a team of experienced bilingual staff members that help facilitate these interactions and provide local guidance throughout your time with us. No prior volunteer experience is necessary as we provide families with resources and support that can help you to volunteer. In short, we work hard to ensure all our families get the most of their experience and are able to contribute to the betterment of the children in a meaningful way.
