Story
I have been accepted as a volunteer with Adventure Ashram. This is to work in Southern India with charities whom they support. I will be helping children improve their English and IT skills and mentoring for the workplace and anything else that is needed!
I will be travelling to India in January 2018 for 1 months volunteering.
I am self-funding my trip and all money raised from this page will go directly to Adventure Ashram to use to fund Health and Education projects that are run by local charities in India.
I believe that education is the key to improving lives and outcomes all over the world and I am very excited that I am being given this opportunity to, hopefully, make a difference in the communities where I will be working.
More details about Adventure Ashram can be found at: http://www.adventureashram.org/
Thank you to anyone that is able to help!
