AVI mainly works with children, adolescents and disables on the issues relating to their education, primary health, family planning, social behaviour and skill development. AVI’s staff has extensive experience of working with international volunteers since 2003 and has participated in many volunteer projects in India.
We are based in a village named Kanwar Pura, just outside the town Sikar in the northern part of Rajasthan, India. We host our volunteers in our own big farm which is also our family house where we live 3 generations together. Also, we have space in our farm for our cows and buffalos.
So, AVI participants live with us on our farm like our family members and not looking at us from a distance like a tourist.
The camp is quite spacious, clean and quieter and located on a local highway which has a good connectivity with our town Sikar. It is just 10 minutes drive from our farm to the town. Also, it is safe and comfortable in all the ways one feels.
