About Parikrma
• Location: Parikrma Humanity Foundation is based in Bangalore, India.
• Schools and College: Parikrma has 4 schools and 1 college supporting local street and slum children to access high-quality education and healthcare.
• Student Age Range: Children attending the school are aged 4-18 years old. This is an English Medium school, meaning most lessons are conducted in English alongside their local language.
Volunteering at Parikrma
• Classroom Engagement: Assist teachers in classroom activities and support individual or groups of children. Your child can also join their respective class and learn alongside their peers, giving them a unique opportunity to see how children learn at Parikrma and build lasting friendships.
• Passion Projects: Share a passion or interest with the children and create a project together, such as an art project or a dance routine!
• Creative Arts: Participate in creative art projects, including dance, music, and art.
• Sports: Engage in sporting activities with the children.
• Skill Development: Upskill students in areas that support their learning.
• English Skills: Spend time with younger children teaching spoken English skills and literacy activities.
• School Activities: Join the children in their school activities, including visits to the local nursing home.
How You Can Contribute
• Share Experiences: Spend time sharing your experiences and interests with the children at Parikrma.
• Fundraising: Raise funds to take the school children on an excursion to the zoo, creating an unforgettable experience for them.
• Menstrual Health: Raise funds for menstrual underwear, which will be provided to the girls during your volunteering experience. Engage in discussions around women’s health, sharing experiences, and creating a safe space to discuss female hygiene.
If you are interested and want to know more about our first trip in July, please contact me at [email protected].
We believe that this experience will not only be enriching for the children at Parikrma but also for you and your teen. By volunteering, you will be making a significant impact on the lives of these children, while also gaining a deeper understanding of a different culture and way of life. Join us in making a difference and creating lasting memories!
