Live and volunteer in India to lead exercise sessions with individuals with physical disabilities, illnesses or injuries. There are a number of sessions you will get involved in, including massage, yoga and rehabilitative activities. There will also be opportunities to take educational and exercise workshops with children with special needs. The sessions you will lead offer them exposure to the English language in a fun learning environment, so you will be helping both the physical and educational development of children. How this program makes a difference: Resources and facilities for people requiring rehabilitative support are limited in India. The workshops you will lead help improve the overall health of individuals with physical disabilities, injuries, and illnesses.

My experience in India was better than I could have imagined
by: Rebecca - EnglandProgram: Volunteer Healthcare Program in IndiaI feel like we have made a real positive difference in the lives of the people we have worked with, that was easy to see even in the short time I was here. I have met some friends for life and the staff have been brilliant from the get go. I have really enjoyed exploring some challenging issues and raising awareness in a culture that is so different from my own.
GVI community was the best part of the trip
by: Florence - United KingdomProgram: Volunteer Healthcare Program in IndiaAll staff and volunteers have so much to bring and everyone is very like minded. The projects all seem to make a difference and do genuinely seem sustainable. The weeks are always full with worthwhile activities but GVI are also very flexible and allow you to make the most of your time here in Kerala. It has been the most amazing and fulfilling experience, I would absolutely recommend to anyone.
An awesome experience
by: Ssrah - EnglandProgram: Volunteer Healthcare Program in IndiaIt has been a very fulfilling experience that has educated me in the good work that organisations like GVI can do and how even a small two-week contribution can have a direct impact on the children in the projects. I have a better understanding of the education system here in India and that we can share so much as teachers, irregardless of faith, culture or experience. The team are incredibly supportive and allow you to get fully involved.
