During the weekdays, you'll be engaging with the development work in rural nursery schools where the teacher-student ratio is extremely low. There's just 1 teacher to look after a class of 30 toddlers between the age of 3 to 5 years. You will provide care, love, and attention for these children as well as help the staff in administrative work. It'll be a learning journey for you and add more to your gap year experience.
