India (MAD) Project - 42 days
Join a group of like-minded volunteers to experience and contribute to daily life. Based in Tamil Nadu at the southernmost tip of the Indian sub-continent, you'll volunteer at a rural project among some of the poorest rural communities in the country. Split your time on this 42 day project between a building project and teaching at a local school. Working alongside local builders, staying in the community and spending time with the kids, you'll become an essential part of the community. Take part in a unique experience where you can really make a difference to an Indian community.

Day 1 Chennai/Rural Project
Meet with your group for the first time in Chennai before heading to the Tamil Nadu region where your village is based. Catch glimpses vast plantations, cows and coastline as you go. Arriving at the village you'll be greeted by community representatives and shown around your simple accommodation.Day 2 Village
Take a walk around the village to see the school, meet some of the people you'll be working with and get a feel for the town. Make sure to take photos of the building site - it won't look like this for long!Days 3-13 Teaching and Building
Your days will soon be in a rhythm as you split your time between building, teaching and playing with the kids. You'll also have the opportunity to explore in the afternoon - there's plenty to see in Tamil Nadu.Days 14-27 Cultural Development
You'll have plenty of opportunity for other activities. Have a chat to community members to find out how you can help. It might be starting adult English classes, helping to weed, painting a mural or showing the local kids the finer points of football. There's also plenty of time to learn more about the local community, their religions and customs. As time progresses you'll really feel a part of the community.Days 28-41 Local Expert
In your final weeks you will well and truly become a part of the community. Visit the families of those you've worked alongside, exchange songs and stories and really enjoy the work that goes into teaching and building.Day 42 Chennai
Your Indian project sadly comes to an end. Admire the hard work you've put into the building, say goodbye to the kids and celebrate your new friendships with your team members and the community. Return to Chennai.Trip Details
