My time in India Last year, I decided to volunteer … in India! It was a decision that changed my life! I said goodbye to my mom (she cried) and my dad and started my amazing journey. I left my hometown in the U. S. on July 19 and flew to New Delhi. Then I took two trains up to the north of the country. Now I live in a small village. I want to be a teacher one day, so I volunteered to teach English. So, what is it like? A typical day goes like this : 7 : 00 am : Get up and walk ten minutes up the side of a mountain to a family’s home. One of the bedrooms is also a classroom. There are children aged 5 to 17 in class! Some speak a little English, others do not. 7 : 30 am : I start teaching my class. We play games, do quizzes, and have a lot of fun! The kids are great. They’re all happy and they enjoy the chance to talk with me. 9 : 00 am : We have a break. Usually, we drink a special Indian tea named “chai. ” It’s hot in India and “chai” is great. It cools you down and tastes delicious. 9 : 30 am : The kids want to learn about the U. S. I get a map and talk about the different places. 11 : 00 am : Soccer time! The kids run all over the place laughing and kicking the ball. Lunchtime : Delicious food every day! No pizzas, no hamburgers! In the afternoons it gets very hot. Many people take a short nap. I often go for a walk and look at the beautiful countryside. Sometimes I do a little shopping in the market. Then I prepare my class for the next day. The kids love art class, so I often prepare an art project for them. 6 : 00 pm : I make dinner. I love all the different foods here. There are fruits and vegetables that we don’t have in the U. S. In the evening, I spend time writing emails to my family back home and go to bed early. It’s great fun here, but I get tired! Example Which country does Steve volunteer in?
