There are many NGOs working for social inclusion projects where minorities or less fortunate people have been left behind in the race and struggle for economic and social justice. FSL-India makes efforts to motivate/support them by placing interested volunteers to help them in their office, field work or to bring in new innovative ideas to their work. The work varies from project to project. Therefore, it is important for the volunteers to clearly mention in the application indicating why they want to work on such projects and also how they can contribute to the projects.Following are examples of the different kinds of Rehabilitation projects: - Projects where working children are given vocational training ; - Projects where young people are given training in various trades ; - Projects where Micro-finances are given to a minority community and we help them to become economically stable; - Projects where computer education is given; - Projects with disabled children and/or adults, in order to give them more autonomy and to eventually reintegrate them in the mainstream of society.In the past volunteers have contributed in a lot of ways for instance i Photography and documentation work of local projects and helping them build a webpage of their own, at a vocational training centre help make a catalogue of all their products. Assist projects by implementing a good filing system; support in survey and data collection. In these projects creativity plays a major role, and prior experience is also very useful. FSL-India also empowers less fortunate youth from slums or low economic backgrounds by providing them training in camp leading or office work. After completion of the training they work as camp leaders for a year. Thereafter, they go back to their communities and organize work camps for the next year and help bring development in their communities. The Info-sheet will have more information regarding the individual projects with schedules, and activities.

There are several ethnic minorities in India whose faces several issues like lack of proper education, infrastructure and medical facilities along with isolation due to the interior nature of living, illiteracy of parents and lack of livelihood development. Various NGOs are working towards community development of these ethnic tribes with a prime objective of preparing them to participate and compete within the mainstream society.Working in this field requires a high degree of flexibility, and volunteers should try and get involved with the local community and with the staff of the project. These projects with the tribal communities are located in rural and remote areas, near to or within the communities and since you will be working with them, therefore it is important that you are prepared for bare minimum and simple living conditions. Strong language barrier could also pose a greater challenge for anyone working in this field.Most of the development work carried out by NGOs is aimed at community development through education, awareness, livelihood promotion and health improvement. Volunteers will be required to teach in most of the projects where they will work with tribal children. Therefore an interest in teaching and love for children is crucial. However, you could also be supporting the staff in the daily activities of the centre, whilst the children are away attending Regular schools.A creative approach to work is useful and you will have the opportunity to initiate new mini projects or activities.You will have to be prepared for a flexible approach to the work and be willing to undertake a variety of tasks.

The challenge of food security, especially in the face of rising food prices, places a serious responsibility before the country. Despite immense advances in the agriculture sector, many people still sleep hungry or live under the threat of food shortage. The degradation of natural resources is also a major concern as it severely impacts the livelihoods of poor and backward communities in rural areas. In this backdrop, sustainable agriculture is one of the most effective ways to respond to the challenges of the rural community. In essence, Sustainable Agriculture refers to a set of practices adopted for cultivation that are least harmful to the environment while also ensuring a good crop. It involves crop production methods that support sustainable natural resource management to increase crop productivity, maintain biodiversity, and also are economically viable and socially acceptable. Organic farming is generally sustainable; however, organic produce can also be cultivated on large scale industrial farms that are not sustainable. Soil and water management, organic farming, integrated pest management, and integrated nutrient management are common practices promoted under sustainable agriculture. Sustainable agricultural development, as well as employing organic farming methods, seeks food and nutritional security, improved livelihoods for our people, safe ecosystems, and sustainable economies of agriculture. As a volunteer in this field of work you will - Work with the farming community and the associated organisations that assist in sustainable agriculture and/or organic farming. - Conduct community awareness on the importance of sustainable agriculture. - Facilitate training and capacity building on crop productivity, how to maintain biodiversity, water management, organic farming, integrated pest management, and integrated nutrient management, surveys, documentations etc. The Info-sheet will have more information regarding the individual projects with schedules, and activities.
