HIV/AIDS Projects
Trip code: IND5

In India, people have a very limited knowledge pertaining to HIV/AIDS. Many impoverished people in India are not educated enough to understand the causes of AIDS and how it is transmitted. In Delhi, various organizations are working to improve HIV/AIDS awareness, education, and care of HIV-infected patients. In partnership with local NGO’s, Rustic Volunteer Travel works to provide volunteers help improve HIV/AIDS awareness, education, and care of HIV-infected patients. As a volunteer in these settings, you will benefit immeasurably while burning on your heart unforgettable impressions of Indian life and culture

 
Project/Volunteer's Life:

In Delhi , many local community organizations are working to disseminate HIV/AIDS awareness, education, and the care of HIV-infected patients. Their organizations aim to foster awareness of the disease and work to change attitudes and behavior towards those unfortunate enough to be infected. Many of these organizations/clinics provide shelter for HIV/AIDS patients, as well as offer counseling for HIV-positive people and their families. Said organizations also treat HIV-positive patients, and run a variety of skills development programs such as wood-working, candle-making, and tailoring, ensuring that infected people have an opportunity to earn a living. As volunteers, participants will often be involved in counseling activities, skill-sharing and training activities, rendering help in treatment (trained volunteers with a health care background only), helping to prepare and present educational programs, as well as any related help requested by local organizations.

Skills and Qualification

There is no specific education, experience, skills and/or qualifications needed to join the HIV/AIDS project. However, volunteers are expected to be flexible and patient as well as possess a passion and love for the poor and HIV-infected people.

Project Locations:

HIV/AIDS projects are available in Delhi (capital city of India and home to Red Fort, Lotus Temple , Qutab Minar, Lodhi Gardens) , with shops, banks & internet cafes nearby. India is the seventh largest country by geographical area, the second most populous country Islam, Christianity, Judaism and Zoroastrianism arrived in the first millennium CE and shaped the region's diverse culture. A pluralistic, multi-lingual, and multi-ethnic society, India is also home to a diversity of wildlife in a variety of protected habitats. It has managed to preserve established traditions while absorbing new customs, traditions, and ideas from invaders and immigrants.

Volunteers can organize different possible excursions during and after the project to visit places of interest. There is a tourist infrastructure already in place the volunteer can use during weekends.
