    Overview

    On this project, you will engage in hands-on construction work. Our primary focus is on improving a school dedicated to underprivileged children in Udaipur, where we are based. Despite previous efforts, much remains to be done, including renovating pathways, walls, and other structures. Those with artistic talents can contribute by decorating the walls with images and sketches representing their home countries and cultures, reflecting the hard work and dedication of our participants over the years.

    Additional construction tasks may arise at the school as needed, depending on current requirements. Participants will utilize their construction skills wherever they are most needed, ensuring the school’s continuous improvement.
