Description
What makes this venture attractive is the combination of volunteering in India and weekend travel at a very affordable cost. This four week volunteer program involves a placement either with the Education Program for Children Living on the Street or Teaching English in a Jaipur primary school and a travel itinerary every weekend to culturally rich destinations. These include: the Taj Mahal in Agra on the first weekend, the famous Tiger Trail through Ranthambhore on the second weekend, and a visit to the Holy City, Pushkar, on the third weekend. The final part - which is four days travel - takes you to Jaisalmer and includes a Camel Safari in the Thar Desert.
