First day was, all the volunteers had chance have Henna, then in next days we have organised Town tour visiting farm and a temple, country presentation in a school. Expectations of the volunteers were to learn and teach Friend to see the real India itself and to help children to learn English and to grow as an individual. During orientation week, they could know for the first time something about the Indian culture that they didn’t know before coming to India. For volunteers it was really a good moment to introduce them with this training week to Indian culture
