FSL INDIA LTV Bangalore region organized for a Final Evaluation (FE) for Long Term Volunteers who has completed 11 months of the their Voluntary Service in India.

The objective of the FE was to provide a platform to express the volunteer’s learning and to evaluate their contribution towards the project/Host Family and to evaluate the performance of FSL and to find a way to improve the quality.

It is a good time for the volunteers to review their whole process from Selection to departure of their Voluntary Program. When volunteers arrived in India their expectation and fears were at very high for rest of their stay in India. Through FSL’s program volunteers gained good experience in India like culture, traditional, lifestyle of Indian people with Host family.

After eleven-month volunteers gathered for this final meet and shared their experience with everyone, by seeing them we could know that there were lot of cultural changes (i.e. traditional clothing, flowers, ear rings, bangles, anklets). Though it was an official meet, volunteers had more fun and shared about the cultural learnings and shocks. During this FE, we covered different topics to review their learning. Volunteers shared their positive and negative experience, positively they highlighted about working style, travel, food, people helping mind, relationship and some of the volunteers said that they wish to implement this in their country and also want to share with their friends and families.

The volunteers really did good work in their project and created an impact during final evaluation they shared about the impact on their work and recommendation to project and FSL, which will be useful for the upcoming volunteers.

Chief coordinator and coordinators appreciated the volunteers for their contribution towards the projects; Our Deputy Director distributed the certificate, wishing them all the very best for their future endeavors.
