Volunteer in India:
India is one of the fastest growing economies of the
world. Though its women have made rapid strides in
every walk of life and done their country proud, yet
very often incidents of atrocities committed on them
are reported by the media. There are many women who
at some time in their life have experienced
physical, sexual or emotional abuse. A large number
of non-government organizations, besides the efforts
put in by the government have come forward to help
the battered and disadvantaged women.
A number of women homes have been set up to shield
women from the wrong doings of the society and to
restore their last sense of pride and self respect.
These resource strapped women homes badly need the
services of volunteers to run their program.
Volunteers provide counseling and monitoring and
help women by teaching English, beautician work,
yoga, stitching, sanitation and health education.
They educate women about HIV/AIDS and other related
issued. They make a big difference in their lives by
sharing their love and warmth with the stressed
inmates of the women homes.
Volunteers can provide guidance for nutritional and
wholesome diet, assist the local staff in organizing
adult literacy classes for women. They can also help
in setting up an informal judicial system for the
redressal of cases of domestic violence, marital
discord, dowry demands etc.
Volunteers interested in the cause of upliftment of
the disadvantaged women and willing to give them
love, care and warmth, would find our women support
project very fulfilling and rewarding. |
