Volunteering in India

[gillian]

Hiya all,

Im a band 5 physio currently working on a bank contract until the end of the year. Im taking the opportunity to go to India in jan 08 to work with special needs children on a voluntary project. I would appreciate any advice from anyone who has done anything like this. Would also love to hear from anyone who is planning to do anything similar, especially in India. Sure there must be a few new band 5's out there who are flitting the country in search of experience.

Thanks
