As a volunteer for our partner’s project in India, you will be able to play an important role, regardless of whether you are an experienced professional or you have just finished your studies. If you are a nurse or medic, you can participate in a volunteer program in places that are outlined and located in areas that are underdeveloped and therefore health care is not usually available. People you get in touch with are too poor to afford even basic health care, nor they can afford health insurance.
The Indian Jesuits, our partner organization, are devoted to work with people from the untouchable caste, which is the lowest caste in India. Its members are discriminated and marginalized with minimal access to health care. Your help is therefore welcome and needed.
Place:
Jagir Pannur village, Raichur district, Karnataka state, India
Jesuits in Jagir Pannur opened a health care center, which is run by nuns. Unfortunately there is a lack of sufficient qualified stuff and they also have lack of resources to be able to afford to pay a doctor. Your presence and work would be highly appreciated.
There is also a nursery Kapepaladi in the village which is attended by children from surrounding villages. Every day they come by school bus. Also these children need a health care. Furthermore there is a hostel for over 70 children in the village. These children attend local primary school.
Your work in Jargir Pannur would be very meaningful and would play an important role in the lives‘ of people, that you help.
As a volunteer, you can participate on this project for one week or longer. Through staying with these poor people and working with them, you can enormously help individuals, but whole communities also. Moreover this will broaden your horizons and enrich you with invaluable experience of medical practice in developing country. Experiencing patient’s gratitude will reward you with satisfaction and you will also get the opportunity to become familiar with the Indian culture and for us non-traditional way of life.
Specific requirement:
Finished secondary medical school or vocational school.
