Volunteer in India - a Guide by Knowledge Must

Knowledge Must Releases a Guidebook for Volunteering in India

New Delhi, India, May 26, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Students, graduates, and professionals interested in working as a volunteer in India now have a resource to make their life easier. Knowledge Must is announcing the publication of its new guidebook ‘Volunteer in India - A Guide by Knowledge Must,’ which is available for free download from its website at www.knowledge-must.com/guidebooks. This new in-depth resource features authoritative information on all important aspects of doing a stint as a volunteer in India.

Most people are not aware yet about the plethora of opportunities India presents. The country has emerged as one of the cultural and economic hotspots of the 21st century, and has developed into a major competence centre in fields as varied as IT, media, engineering, and the entertainment industry. At the same time, the manifold environmental and social challenges create a pressing need for intervention. As a volunteer in India, people can significantly contribute towards a sustainable future in India.

Knowledge Must invites everybody to take a chance to experience one of the most captivating societies in our globalising world and witness one of the oldest, and at the same time most forward-looking, cultures. With this guide Knowledge Must offers a complete resource for everybody who is interested in India's challenging volunteer environment.

“I have been wanting to volunteer in the health sector in India for several years now,” says French university graduate Pierre Massaut. “To be honest, I was scared quite a bit – but with the assistance of Knowledge Must I finally made up my mind and came to India. Having a guidebook now on hand will make it so much easier for other people facing the same questions that I did. Once you make the extra effort to engage the Indian culture your personal experience will improve tremendously!”

In addition to answering the most pressing questions regarding volunteering in India, the guide features valuable insights ranging from logistics such as visa procedures and accommodation arrangements to cultural backgrounds and inspiration for how to spend one's leisure time. This publication guides readers to a deeply satisfying volunteer experience.

"Developing cultural awareness is certainly the most important component of enjoying your time in India," notes Knowledge Must's Daniel Ratheiser. "It doesn’t matter so much whether you volunteer with an internationally renowned development agency or with a street-level NGO. The better you are prepared for immersing yourself in the local culture, the better the chances of realising your personal vision, while avoiding the disappointments related to unrealistic expectations."
