Das Haus der Familie, in dem ich wohnte, war wunderschön, und die ganze Familie hat mich herzlich empfangen. Während meines Aufenthalts waren sowohl der Programmkoordinator als auch der Tuk-Tuk-Fahrer sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, und der Besuch in ihren Häusern war eine tolle Erfahrung, also vielen Dank an sie für ihre Gastfreundschaft. Allerdings war ich am Anfang etwas enttäuscht, weil ich morgens früh aufstehen musste, aber nach ein paar Tagen hatte ich mir das angewöhnt, weil ich verstanden habe, dass die Pflegearbeiten schon morgens erledigt werden müssen, wenn der Elefant aufwacht. Ich arbeite jeden Tag von 5 bis 9 Uhr morgens. Zweimal in der Woche komme ich auch am Nachmittag, wenn wir Chapati für die Elefanten machen. Ich habe mich um 5 Elefanten gekümmert und möchte sie wirklich alle zu mir nach Hause bringen. Ich bin wirklich traurig, dass ich nach meinem Projektabschluss wieder nach Hause gehen muss, um zu studieren. Ich werde auf jeden Fall das nächste Mal kommen. Das Kinderprojekt, das ich nur für 2 Tage besucht habe, war dagegen großartig und ich hatte das Gefühl, etwas beizutragen, daher würde ich alle Projekte, die VWI anbietet, weiterempfehlen.
Very nice and interesting experience with nice and welcoming people and of course with beautiful elephants! The reasons to choose VWI is I wanted to do an elephant project while I was travelling in India and I found this one on internet.. It seems good, trustful and with a good location. Jaipur is beautiful city to visit in the afternoon and on weekends. The pick service was in time, accommodation was perfect – very nice room and food was good. The project staff members were very nice and Kind. I would like to give VWI 10 out 8 from my overall experience.
We are husband & Wife. Both of us really enjoyed the project it was great to work with elephants. Feeding them, clean up their living area, help the mahouts in their daily work- everything was fantastic & a great experience for how to care these big elephants. The host family house is an excellent location and the family was very welcoming and helpful. When we told them our bad was too hard they found another for us. Everybody on project is very much looking after us and very kind. Really back again with our kids next summers.
I really enjoyed the experience, would like a bit more time with them. Mahouts are very friendly, our program coordinator was a star and totaram ji ( taxi driver ) was great. I was in project for 3 weeks; on weekends I had visited Sightseeing’s of Jaipur, Agra & Ranthambore Tiger Safari. VWI arrange fantastic services. Loved last day with tigers. Thank you Sukret. Higly recommend the project.
The Indian People i met were very friendly and helped me all the time. The work with Elephants is hard but the elephants such amazing animals. I would like to come again to do this project. They will stay always in my heart. VWI is the best volunteering organization in India. I would like to give them A+ grade in all their services – Airport Arrival Pick up Transfer, Accommodation & Food, Transportation, Project and staff members. They showed me Jaipur Sightseeing and by volunteering with them help me to learn about the Indian people, history and culture.
