    Workaway in Rajasthan

    July 10, 2018 in India ⋅ ⛅ 37 °C

    We took the bus to Agar village to volunteer at 'masti Ki pathshala', a democratic learning centre for the children of the village. The idea of this type of school is to let the children decide what they want to learn, there is no curriculum/exams and children can come and go as they please. The centre operates in the afternoon, as the children attend regular government school in the morning. Gautam, the very passionate founder of this Centre faces various challenges, including working in a rural village which he is not from and trying to work with the mentality of people who only believe what they already know. We were lucky to meet other lovely volunteers here from Uraguay, France, Spain and India. We ended up staying 2 weeks here and did some stuff
    around growing seedlings, reducing plastic, team work, and just playing with the children.
