Cross-Cultural Solutions volunteers stay in two flats in New Delhi. These flats are located just a few blocks from the office and close to the Hauz Khas market where volunteers can obtain any basic goods that they may have left at home. Although accommodations are modest, beds, hot water, western toilets, linens and electricity are provided. Typically there will be one to three people in a room. A staff member will prepare meals for the volunteers.
Food is primarily vegetarian and typical of India.
Before you leave for any of our programs you will receive our printed pre-departure information. Upon arrival, you will receive a day of intensive orientation - followed by a shopping trip to purchase Indian clothes to wear at your work site. You will also have ample time to relax, take in the sights, and prepare for your volunteer experience. Most countries require a visa for travel to India. Cross-Cultural Solutions will provide you with an application and will walk you through the steps for obtaining your visa.
