Here at HMWS we dedicate our time and efforts to empowering the poorest communities through education and medical assistance regardless of race, creed, color, religion, beliefs, circumstance or environment!
We are a small community based charity, registered under the government of West Bengal. Through the hard work and commitment of our volunteers we can continue to provide a better life for those most needing within our district.
Volunteer Information
Here at HMWS we dont require you to have any formal qualifications as we believe everybody can bring something positive to our organisation. Desirable qualities are spoken English, teaching experience, medical qualifications, but more importantly a kind heart and the willingness to make a positive difference in our deprived area.
Unlike many volunteering organisations around the world WE DO NOT CHARGE ANY FEES OR COMMISSION. We believe the life experiences, education and most of all love that our volunteers bring is the most valuable asset to the children and communities of Darjeeling.
We have no set programs as such and will try and accommodate our volunteers as best as possible to make your stay with us efficient and rewarding.
As an option, we can accommodate up to 4 people at any one time although arrangement for further persons could be arranged upon request. We charge a rate of ONLY $ 12 per day for accommodation which includes 3 meals a day and other refreshments and is completely non-profitable. We have internet and phone access.
Location: Gorubathan, West Bengal, India (100km from Darjeeling)
