I enjoyed the culture and how the quest allowed me to experience more as well as learn while giving back to society. Going through United Planet allowed me an opportunity to truly immerse my way into a new way of life and learn while allowing me to help those in need. I made unbreakable bonds through my quest and would love to go back again very soon.Rhea K.- United Planet Volunteer in India
The vast majority of India’s population practices Hinduism. Identified as both a religion and a way of life the customs that believers follow are not based on a single founder, scripture, or set of teachings like other prominent forms. Celebrate Holi ‘The Festival of Colors’ and others as you get to know the culture.
Language conflicts are an important challenge in the history of India. Though the causes of these conflicts are rooted in various topics from geography to politics; the consequences of the conflicts grapple more attention. Persecution of minorities, parochialism, and inter-state border disputes are only a few to name. For now all regional languages, as well as English and Hindi, are encouraged to be accepted.
Investigate the churches and convents of Goa, where the tomb of St Francis-Xavier lies. These monuments were influential in spreading forms of Manueline, Mannerist and Baroque art in India and all other countries of Asia.

We want you to succeed. That means having in place the support our volunteers need. We don’t just drop you in country and hope for the best. We provide training before you leave … language exposure … 24/7 in-country support … support for your host family … accommodations, meals and airport transportation … activities and excursions. The whole idea is to make the experience successful and productive for you and the host community, and we have found that these things are crucial. Remember that we are a non-profit, mission-driven organization – we wouldn’t spend money on something that wasn’t important.
