Child Care Program India

India Volunteer Programs: 1-52 weeks

The Aanganbaris in India are known as day care centers. Aanganwaris in rural areas have been created by the government to take care of the children from their early childhood. Day Care Center (Anganbari) programs are implemented in villages. The centers are responsible for providing play way learning environment to the young ones and to look after their health and hygiene. The day care centers in rural areas often equipped with minimal resources and are often under-funded, under-staffed, and poorly managed. As a result, the community looses confidence in day care centers, failing to make use of its resources. Mothers and children receiving services are either provided with little or with no attention and care.

The activities you’ll be doing
The children being the main focus of volunteer efforts, day care centers will regularly be visited by the volunteers to work with the children. Awareness is generated on health and hygiene issues of the children. Children will be provided with healthy learning environment through interactive games and pictograph stories. Emphasis on the nutritional care of the children is also given in the centers. The volunteers will also get involved with the children in various games and learning exercises to create interest in them develop their physical health and potentiality.

A day in the life of a volunteer
On working days, volunteers usually get up and have breakfast before leaving for their Volunteer Placements. Our staff will provide transportation to and from your Volunteer Placement if required. You will probably spend about four hours at your Volunteer Placement. Evenings will be filled with opportunities to learn about the local culture and customs, field trips to places of local interest, discussions with experts on local issues and others. Evening meal-times provide another exciting chance to enjoy authentic food provided by host family/our staff cooks. The food is delicious and healthy and takes full advantage of local cooking traditions. The evenings and weekends are free time, to relax or explore the local area. Volunteers often travel to other parts of the country at weekends, and the staff who are all from the local area themselves, are always happy to make recommendations.
