India has very less number of sports development coaching centers and such centers are only available in selected cities. A very few schools are conducting and promoting sports development activities. But in the rural areas, schools are completely ignorant of sports coaching and also no coaching centers are existing there. In these areas mostly schools are manned by State Government. So, due to lack of financial resources schools do not teach or develop sports activities. Therefore most children do not have any of physical education. Many people lacking vital coordination skills and an appreciation of the importance of exercise.
A day in the life of a volunteer
On working days, volunteers usually get up and have breakfast before leaving for their Volunteer Placements. Our staff will provide transportation to and from your Volunteer Placement if required. You will probably spend about four hours at your Volunteer Placement. Evenings will be filled with opportunities to learn about the local culture and customs, field trips to places of local interest, discussions with experts on local issues and others. Evening meal-times provide another exciting chance to enjoy authentic food provided by host family/our staff cooks. The food is delicious and healthy and takes full advantage of local cooking traditions. The evenings and weekends are free time, to relax or explore the local area. Volunteers often travel to other parts of the country at weekends, and the staff who are all from the local area themselves, are always happy to make recommendations.
