Language Orientation and Cultural Immersion

Would you like to learn more about India? Immerse in local culture and discover more before you start your project?

This is a wonderful opportunity to discover India intimately. The program is designed for you to immerse in local culture, sights and sounds before the project to give you the confidence to successfully finish your volunteer project. Volunteers will learn about India by familiarizing themselves with the local language, where you will learn basic phrases and verbs that are commonly used by Indians in their daily life, culture, and heritage of the land. You will also be involved in sightseeing tour of Delhi.
