Volunteers for Health Care Activities

We couldn't have done what we achieved without the support of vast number of volunteers, both in India and International, from the beginning. Thanks to everyone for their time, involvement and support on various projects from time to time. A few categories of those generous volunteers are mentioned below.

Medical Students: Several final year medical students and nurses from the United Kingdom visited the villages and carried out their projects such as assisting the medical clinics, maternity survey and counselling sessions, family planning clinics, childcare clinics and dental clinics etc to mention a few. They shared their experience with the doctors, health workers and teachers for further follow up.

College level Health Education Programmes: Students of BTEC Health Care and Education at Llandrillo College, North Wales, UK, had conducted health education improvement activities in the villages as a part of their National Vocational Qualification(NVQ) along with the teachers from the college at regular intervals.


Volunteers for Educational Activities

Voluntary Services Overseas (VSO): A candidate sponsored by Voluntary Services Overseas (VSO), UK, spent 2 years supporting Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) by staying at Irumaram village. This was very resourceful with the introduction of improvements to the existing curriculum, training teachers and health workers in new techniques and interactive sessions with the parents of the children encouraged, and this holistic approach made a good outcome.

Self-sponsored Volunteer: Efforts were made to introduce National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) standards to the teachers at the Child Development Centre an experienced NVQ assessor from England, UK.
