We are a non-profit organization authorized by the state government to provide free education on computers and career training like English teaching, handicraft, music, yoga, etc. to almost 215 schools of underpriviledged students in the Himalayas. Working for a Government school is itself a certificate of authenticity. The area where we work and where volunteers are invited is called Bironkhal, Pauri Garhwal, Uttrakhand, India. This area is rich in natural resources. A large portion of the population is farmers or people who are economically disadvantaged. We are 100% sure that the volunteers will definitely have a unique lifetime experience not found anywhere else, i.e. 1. Learning about the culture of the people of Himalayas who are known for their honesty; 2. Cherishing their school days and time spent with the students; 3. Polishing their volunteering skills and learning new things from the students; 4. After school time or during days off, enjoying jungle walks, river walks, trekking, mountaineering, camping, etc. as the region is full of such places which are unexplored.
