Presentation of the program
In the beginning, volunteers will live & work with rural communities to experience a typical mountain village culture, their lifestyle and during process join our ongoing initiatives like NFE, women empowerment,
NRM (Protection of fresh water sources), organic farming etc. They will also visit place of historical and cultural importance for their personal development.
During the last three days, the volunteers would move to Mcloedganj in Dharamshala which is a touristic town and also Secretariat of Tibetan Government in exile. Over here they would visit Tibetan, monasteries, museum, schools and join language classes with Tibetan monks. There is a likelihood that we may take up some cleanliness work or some other activity. Otherwise, this visit will be more of touristic with leisurely walks and culture sharing.
About the accommodation
Volunteers will stay at peaceful RUCHI campus on twin/triple sharing basis. Bed and beddings are provided. Simple basic amenities will be available. While in Dharamshala, they will stay in a guest house. Though cooked authentic Indian vegetarian meals will be served volunteers are expected to assist the cook.
About the location
RUCHI Campus at village, Bandh of Solan district and a guest house in the town of Mcloedganj in Dharamshala, a tourist hub.
The project will start from village Bandh, Solan district where headquarters of RUCHI is located and terminate in Dharamshala, the headquarters of Tibetan Government in exile. Opportunities will be there for short and long treks in the mountains. While in RUCHI campus, nearby Kasauli town is a major attraction. A visit to Shimla will offer an opportunity to see high Himalayan Mountains and British architecture. Dharamshala is well known as a much sought after tourist attraction.
Requirements
Interest in understanding different life styles and issues with a sharing and learning ability, High motivation & open mindedness is a must. As the project will involve walking the disability should not restrict mobility.
Extra information
Through this project we aim to provide volunteers with an enriching (rural & urban) experience where they would participate in our ongoing rural community development initiatives aimed at uplift of marginalized people and later move to McLeodganj, Dharamshala where Tibetan Government in exile has its head quarters. Volunteers here would get chance to increase their understanding about Tibetan Culture, their movement and their ongoing struggle to keep their identity alive.
