\"\"<\/a>In early June 2012, a group of 21 new volunteers from 10 countries arrived at FSL- India for long-term volunteering program. FSL-India organised a week-long orientation for volunteers in Bangalore and Kundapur.

The orientation was scheduled from 4th<\/sup> to 8th<\/sup> June 2012.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the orientation commenced, volunteers were welcomed by FSL-India team with garlands of jasmine, vermilion tilak marks on the forehead and Aarathi. Sessions were facilitated to give input on various topics. Introduction about FSL-India and its work, Indian life style, roles and responsibilities of the volunteers, expectations and fears among the volunteers, setting up aims and objectives and conflict management were the major topics dealt with. Volunteers had the opportunity to learn Kannada Language and during evening hour sessions were organised to introduce them on Indian culture. They visited few projects and interacted with the local community as part of inter-cultural learning and experience sharing.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During the orientation volunteers were asked to write a self-addressed letter to make comparative analysis between how the situation was in the beginning and how it could be when they accomplish their assignments. Host Family Tea Party, Project introduction and project visit were organised during the orientation. Final Talk was also organised to share their thoughts with the staff.
