UN’s Sustainable Development Goals:

This program is ideal for

Compassionate individuals with a passion for making a difference. Volunteers should be patient, empathetic, and have a genuine interest in working with children, particularly those with autism spectrum disorder. Creativity, adaptability, and a willingness to collaborate with teachers are essential traits for enriching the classroom experience.

Our program at ASHA offers a fulfilling opportunity for volunteers eager to support children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Volunteers will work alongside experienced teachers, aiding in the creation of engaging educational materials and activities. With a focus on collaboration and creativity, volunteers will contribute to a nurturing classroom environment. This unique experience not only enriches the lives of the children but also provides volunteers with valuable insights and personal growth. Join us in making a meaningful impact within our ASD community.

Here are some free time activities you might enjoy while volunteering:

Exploring Local Markets: Take a leisurely stroll through Basaveshwarnagar's markets to experience the vibrant local culture and pick up some souvenirs or traditional crafts.
Visiting Parks and Gardens: Spend some peaceful time amidst nature by visiting local parks like Sankey Tank or JP Park, perfect for a relaxing walk or a picnic.
Cultural Immersion: Immerse yourself in the local culture by attending cultural events, visiting temples, or exploring historical sites like the ISKCON Temple or the Bangalore Palace.
Volunteer Meetups: Connect with fellow volunteers in your downtime by organising meetups or social gatherings to share experiences and bond over shared goals.
Learning Local Cuisine: Try your hand at cooking or sampling the diverse range of South Indian cuisine available in Basaveshwarnagar's eateries and street food stalls.
Yoga and Meditation: Engage in yoga and meditation sessions to rejuvenate your body and mind, with many centres and parks offering classes for all skill levels.
Community Engagement: Get involved in community service projects or outreach programs to make a positive impact beyond your volunteering duties.
Attend Workshops and Seminars: Keep yourself intellectually stimulated by attending workshops, seminars, or lectures on topics of interest, often organised by local NGOs or community centres.
Exploring Nearby Attractions: Take day trips to nearby attractions such as the Nandi Hills, Lalbagh Botanical Garden, or the Bannerghatta Biological Park for a change of scenery and adventure.
Relaxing at Cafés and Restaurants: Wind down after a day of volunteering by enjoying a cup of local filter coffee at one of Basaveshwarnagar's quaint cafés or indulging in delicious local delicacies at restaurants in the area.

Remember to balance your free time activities with your volunteering responsibilities and make the most of your experience in Basaveshwarnagar, Bangalore!
