Review

I volunteered with AIM Abroad for a week in March 2013 with a friend of mine. We volunteered in a street school and had an incredible experience. The kids were the best kids you can possibly get- nice, well-behaved, understand little English but communication was no problem with body language. They taught me how to play indian games and were very willing to learn whatever I taught them. The head of the school is a super kind lady who started the school. She is an amazing person and how she started the school is an amazing story.

My friend and I arrived around 3 am, and were a bit worried about safety when we get off the train since we are two girls. However, the driver was already waiting for us at the train station and brought us to the host family. Very nice family. Two sons and one daughter. The daughter and the older son are really sweet and helpful, and the youngest son (who is five years old) is super cute. If you need anything, they can take you to the store. They provided very good homemade food three times a day and snacks (chai and cookies) all the time. VERY SAFE.

I really recommend working with AIM Abroad. It was a great experience for me.
