My Emotional (感人的) Experience in Jaipur

I came to India in February 2016 to complete a volunteer practicum requirement with some friends. It was really an unforgettable experience!

Before we set off, I thought it would be a hard job, 1 that I could not adapt to the poor living conditions. After arriving in Jaipur, we went straight to the hotel that the Center had 2 for us; a relief to us as we were tired from the 3 . During the following days we were 4 to the city and had Hindi lessons with our guide Ravi.

On our fourth day in Jaipur we were taken to the head office. There we were 5 for the Child Development Program and over the course we 6 two studies related to child work and child rights. We focused on the experiences of the children who were working and the 7 that pushed them into work. The experience was entirely new for me and I learned so much through the 8 . The best part of the work, however, was 9 being in the communities and interacting with the children and their parents. I was 10 to a way of life completely different from my own. In spite of the poor living situations, people in Jaipur were 11 . We found that the parents communicated openly with each other and they were always 12 to share their own thoughts and feelings with their children. I could 13 that people in Jaipur have positive relationships with their family and community members. Talking with the people there and hearing their stories was something that had a strong effect on my worldview, continuing to 14 how I understand everything around me now. I have been 15 by the people that I met through this experience.

On the weekends I spent time in Jaipur, 16 the city and shopping. We were 17 enough to be there during Holi, an exciting and colorful celebration in February end or early March in India! We really 18 every minute of the life in Jaipur!

Generally, my practicum experience with Volunteering India was extremely 19 . I know that I will be thinking about everything that I saw, learned and 20 in India and look forward to the day that I can return to this amazing country.
