Volunteer on your gap year at a centre that is dedicated to the rehabilitation of disabled children through music, dance, drama, story telling and other aspects of theatre. The organization also runs another community development centre which focuses on vocational training for disabled adults. Here they are taught, along with music and drama, skills such as embroidery, block-printing, painting, and handicrafts.
Your Role: As a gap year volunteer, you can work as an assistant to the class teachers in music and theatre rehabilitation work. This
means you would be working alongside the staff and helping to make activities as enjoyable and productive as possible.
You can also help train disabled adults in any of the following skills - embroidery, block-printing, painting, and handicrafts. For this you
would not necessarily need to have any experience, just the desire to learn and the patience to achieve.
What you Gain: Use your individual skills in music, arts or drama to assist children with special needs to improve their quality
of life. Develop your own skills and confidence whilst making a valuable contribution during your gap year abroad.
