As we are only a small charity, volunteers are a vital part of everything we do. Volunteers are required all year round; some of the jobs include helping run 'The Mango House', our day care center for children. You might also like to help sort clothes, provide local slums with fruit, possibly teach or create activities and events for the children.

Do you have what it takes to volunteer for us? It doesn't matter if you're 18 or 80; we have had a huge range of volunteers help us, the eldest being 73 so age isn't a factor. If you're fit and healthy and thnk you can work in difficult conditions for at least three months then please get in touch. The next few pages will hopefully give you an idea of what we need and what is involved in becoming a volunteer in India for Children Walking Tall.

We accept volunteers all year round and are happy to say we are usually booked up for months at a time. The only time we do struggle is during the monsoon period from May through to October.

We require a minimum duration of 3 months (as to benefit the children) and some
volunteers stay with us for 4, 6 or even 12 months.

We require no costs from the volunteers, although we do ask for a deposit which is
refundable on request after the minimum 3 months has been completed. Volunteer do
fund all aspects of their stay, travel accommodation and food. We provide one meal
at the charity (mid day) which is eaten with the children. The food is of very good
quality and includes a mixed (veg/chicken/fish) menu.

All volunteers must have a recent enhanced police check to volunteer. These should
be applied for separately instruction are available on our website for UK applicants.
