    About the program

    For volunteers who love working with their hands, the construction program in India is perfect while helping keep in good shape schools, community centers, hospitals, and other structures that are of benefit to the community. While volunteers work in a community project in construction they also can enjoy the city of Jaipur and experience real life in India and the north Indian State of Rajasthan.  The city is surrounded by hills and impressive buildings that represented forts.  Jaipur was established by the then Maharaja, Sawai Jai Singh in the year 1927. The graceful architecture of the City that runs across in pink color has earned Jaipur the title of "The Pink City".

    Volunteers coming to this program must be somewhat physically fit as the project involves standing up most of the day and manual labor.

    Volunteer Tasks:
    • Assessing and planning new projects.
    • Whitewashing walls.
    • General maintenance tasks such as plumbing, simple electric installation.
    • Painting walls, murals, and creating educational content in walls.
    • Construction of community toilets in rural areas.
