Duration of Program: 5-8 weeks
Dates: Starts any Monday

Description: India , the second most populated country in the world, is set at the southern tip of Asia. It is a vivid kaleidoscope of landscapes, magnificent historical sites and royal cities, misty mountain retreats, colorful people, rich cultures and festivities. Its history dates back 5000 years and you can visit temples, palaces and museums to satisfy even the most demanding traveler. Although English is widely spoken, it is not one of the 9 official languages.

Volunteer projects are located in and around Delhi and Jaipur, the two most vibrant and beautiful cities of India. We offer projects at local orphanages, women's groups, health centers, local schools and NGOs working on different social issues. If you are a medical professional you're very welcome to help doctors who work with the most impoverished people who don't have access to health care. You can teach English, assist at an adult literacy program or raise awareness of HIV and AIDS.

AmeriSpan Study Abroad's Mission Statement: Our mantra is "Every Language, Every Culture, Everywhere." AmeriSpan Study Abroad has over 15 years experience and over 30,000 past participants. Our staff has three passions: language, culture, and travel. Individually and as a group, we have accumulated experiences and knowledge related to these passions. AmeriSpan's staff has traveled to more than 65 countries, every continent except Antarctica, speak 10 languages, and we are happy to share this enormous amount of relevant knowledge with you. Every staff member has studied and/or lived abroad for extended periods of time. We are neither a language school nor a travel agent, we're a hybrid of the two: a language travel organization. AmeriSpan has evaluated hundreds of schools, host families and destinations to determine which programs to offer, and our independence allows us to give you unbiased evaluations of these programs. Our pledge to our participants is to make going abroad 'worry-free'. There is no risk in choosing an AmeriSpan program because you'll get the best program, best price and can cancel for any reason and get a full refund on every dollar we have received for your program.
