Do you have specific skills and want to make a difference...

Now could be the time!

 

Love the One Team are on the look-out for dedicated people who would be willing to volunteer for longer-term placements with them both out in India and back in the UK. This is not for the faint-hearted... the climate is hot, conditions are tough and you will see things that will break your heart.

However... there is nothing more rewarding than giving up a a year of your life to make a life changing difference for those less fortunate. We are looking for those people skilled in the following areas to come out to India and teach your skills to others.

To work for a year in India with us you would need to raise around £2000 to cover your flights, living costs, insurance, visas and vaccinations ... so come on and take the plunge! It will be life changing for both you and the community you work with.

Sanitation is one of number one reasons for ill-health and death in our community in Orissa, India.

We also offer placements for gap-year students and for internships for those considering working overseas in the future.
