"Children who are from underprivileged families struggle with English a lot more and are not confident in their abilities. They also struggle a lot in classrooms as they do not have education reinforced at home as their parents are not educated or able to help them. One of our keys aim is to build up children’s confidence and English abilities from an early age. Exposure to different teaching styles and resources will also help them to develop skills that go beyond the text book so they can progress faster.The English language skills you impart will give the children a new sense of confidence and help them develop and grow as individuals. Having volunteers means we can help to improve facilities from time to time or provide resources for schools"

Detoxification And Rehabilitation
Social Worker, 1992 to 2003, Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India
I have been raised in Jodhpur by a family deeply involved in rural education and community development for the past 25 years. My avid love of rural visits has led me promoting and helping to popularize the concept of sustainable and responsible tourism so as to strengthen and support community development and its all round development.
Apart from my direct involvement in community development projects,I have an extensive knowledge of Indian wildlife, and the ability to identify 200-250 bird species, I consider photography a powerful means for conserving our natural heritage. Widely traveled, I have spent four years as a tour leader for INTREPID in India and Nepal, I do have extensive experience in planning and managing group and individuals tours.
I offer a variety of services including tailor-made tours for private groups and independent travellers under my travel venture Wild Eye Travels.We work closely with our clients taking into consideration personal interests, preferred activities, time available and budget.

Tea Talks !
I came to India at the end of September, with the aim of doing volunteering work and to visit this amazing country (which is very far from my world).The reception at the Guesthouse was very cordial and I felt at home after a few days (I have to say that I knew this would happen since the photos of the garden which I saw on the webpage reminds me the guesthouse my parents ran in Southern Chile during more than 15 years).
