India Volunteer care is an organization that doses its best to help local NGOs and initiatives to get the support they need. They organize, and accommodate volunteers and interns from all over the world and set them up with local places to work, teach and learn.
“We aim to identify and place international volunteers where they are most needed: in emerging, small scale, grassroots organizations that lack the necessary means and organization to attract and accommodate international volunteers, but would benefit greatly from outside assistance and knowledge.” (indiavolunteercare.com)
IVC along with their partner organization Prime Trust works with several Self Help groups, daycares, orphanages, including a curative orphanage, a hospital and several afterschool programs for children in slums. All of these local groups are in great need of outside help.
Working in India can be Difficult; the work mentality is very different from that of Europe, North America or other more westernized nations. In becoming an established well oiled company IVC has a long way to go, but the organizations intention is good. Sometimes the lack of organization was infuriating but we found that when we spoke our concerns and gave ideas they were taken seriously and implemented when possible.
Experience has shown that many people want to come to India and help, but numerous local organisations lack the necessary means to attract and manage International volunteers.
