A little bit of info... oh the irony of tea!
Here is a little bit of info on the project I will be at between the 1st of Feb and the 15th of March...
What does this community project do?
This is a varied project which gives you the flexibility to assist on one or a number of worthwhile community initiatives, while living in the fascinating surroundings of a tea estate near Darjeeling. There are three main areas of work at the project: education, health care, and agriculture, and it's your choice to get involved with one or more, depending on your preference.
Workers and their families live in villages scattered within the estates and the education and health programs offer assistance to the families living in this rural community. The health program was originally aimed at improving basic health and hygiene in the villages, and this has extended to pre and post-natal care as well as maternity nutrition. Paramedics conduct regular rounds of the village, promoting awareness of basic health issues and offering advice to families. There is more than one school in all the estates and one estate also has a computer school to assist tradtional education, but there is an inadequate supply of teachers to maintain good standards of education. Volunteers who are interested in working with children can also assist with mother and baby care at local crèches.
