Volunteer in India or Sri Lanka with Rustic Volunteer Travel

To volunteer abroad is to allow yourself to explore a fascinating culture that normal tourists never have the privilege to see. Volunteer in India or volunteer in Sri Lanka with Rustic Volunteer Travel to get an up-close look at an intriguing South Asian culture.

As an India volunteer, you can, beyond teaching English, lend your talents and time to the India Women Support Project, where you’ll combat the poverty, social division, and superstitions that negatively affect women in India. Volunteers can also lend a hand spreading habit-changing awareness about HIV/Aids. Or help out in the Primary Health Project. In your free time you can spend fascinating hours exploring the subcontinent’s peerless charms.

Sri Lanka is a great land now more worthy of exploration than ever, with its long civil being history. This gorgeous country is coming into its own, with its southwestern beaches, invigorating hill stations in the interior, bustling capital of Colombo, many Buddhist temples and colonial-chic Galle. Volunteers in Sri Lanka can work at an orphanage, making a meaningful difference to disadvantaged children by showing your skills on many ways; teaching monks in a monastery, getting thoroughly immersed in Buddhist culture in quiet surroundings; or bathe and care for pachyderms in the Elephant Orphanage.
