Volunteer abroad in AIDS projects in India

Please note: Volunteers in India are not assigned to a specific project until they have arrived at the project site. There, they visit the various available placements, and make a more informed choice about their preferred placement.

This happens for a number of reasons. For example, some volunteers may be better able to help in a specific project due to previous experiences, and that becomes more clear in the field. Furthermore, there is an integrated development plan for the community, which means that a number of projects are active within a community at the same time, and we need to ensure availability of volunteers in as many projects as possible. If all the volunteers wish to work on a particular type of project, we would have too many people on one project and not enough on another.

This is why we also ask potential participants to indicate their top 3 choices when they apply. Specific daily tasks are listed on our website for each type of project. For each placement there are many specific projects - e.g. many schools, many orphanages, etc. - and volunteers are assigned according to the criteria listed above.
