Overview of the Project
Global Crossroad’s main rehabilitation volunteer project in India tackles a massive and challenging task for those who want to help at-risk youth. Sadly, many young people in India today are addicted to drugs. In Delhi, many rehabilitation centers work with these young men and women to help them reintegrate to society and lead normal and productive lives. The constructive counseling and training programs offered by rehabilitation centers like Global Crossroad’s help these young people become independent and self-sufficient individuals again and offer them social and working skills they need to become solid members of society.
Additional rehabilitation center programs care for physically and mentally challenged children and adults. Volunteers make a profound difference in the lives of these challenged individuals through counseling, teaching and sharing creative skills like sewing, woodworking and candle making. As a volunteer in our rehabilitation project, you will share your time and talents, helping participants reclaim a life of dignity and independence.
A third rehabilitation project focuses on orphanages that cater only to mentally and physically disabled children. Volunteers in this project conduct physical exercises, teach English and facilitate creative activities. These orphanages are considered “rehabilitation projects” because the children were neglected in their poor communities and were brought to the orphanages to be rehabilitated for self-reliance. Physiotherapists are needed for this project.
