Work as a volunteer
Work as a volunteer: a life changing experience..
The words of Dana, an Australian volunteer: “A life changing experience”.
The words of Giovanna, an Italian volunteer: Balò welcomes around 400 of the poorest of the poor every day. Balò not only offers an excellent free school, but also gives its students attention and care. Everyone at Balò goes above and beyond the call of duty because they look at what is behind each student and his or her family.
You can donate your time and your knowledge, collaborating with Balò in Italy for fundraising or organizing solidarity events, or you can come to Calcutta and live the unique experience of being part of our activities! Live with the children sharing their days and their difficulties. You will teach them your knowledge and give them the opportunity to meet different people.
Duration: We recommend for a first experience a stay time of at least one week up to a maximum of one month.
The profile that fits the reality of Balò is that of a person with adaptability, ability to observe, to listen and make himself available. At least a basic knowledge of English is certainly a help both to interact with children but also with local staff. Ability to carry out activities of different types such as teaching, music, sport, drawing, DIY are well received by the children.
