Text A- INDIAMagical India is a land of many contrasts. It is impossible to generalize about this subcontinent and everyone has different experience and different opinions. To live in India is to be part of a way of life totally unlike anything else.People who volunteer to work in India spend up six months at a time in the south of India. It’s an area with a special feel to it – the villages and farms feed local people well, while the temples, sometimes built on great rocks overlooking the plain, satisfy people’s spiritual needs.South Indian community life is very close; if you work there you will be treated as an addition to any school or family that you join. The food is famous for its variety of spices, vegetables, and fruit and many people are vegetarians.You will find yourself helping with both primary and secondary schoolchildren. Some schools also have children as young as nursery age, and you may well have the chance to work with them as well.Travelling in India offers great opportunities. The rainy seasons in June and July and October keep the climate cooler, and do not interfere with daily life. Text B – GHANAGhana is a colourful country of thick tropical forests, wild savannah or bush and great beaches. It is home to one of Africa’s friendliest and most welcoming people. The Ashanti built their kingdom on Ghana’s gold – their country used to be called the Gold coast.

You have a choice of working in busy Kathmandu, one of the villages in Kathmandu Valley or in the peaceful town of Pokara at the base of the great Annapurna mountain range by the shores of the beautiful Phewa Lake.Accommodation is either with host families or local hostels.The surroundings countryside is excellent from walking and climbing, boating on the lake, and white-water rafting in the mountain rivers.

The capital city, Lome, is on the coast close to the Ghanaian border.Togo’s official language is French and although Togo has been independent since 1960 the French influence is still evident, from the architecture to the food.Lome is said to have the best market in West Africa and the Togolese are warm and hospitable people.Accommodation is cheap; you can choose to stay with a host family or you may prefer to find your own room or apartment.The south of the country is flat with lagoons along the length of the coast, but as you travel north the land becomes hilly and rich with coffee plantations.We can offer you work opportunities in secondary schools where the classes range in age from 11-20.
