je pars en Inde (pondi) par l'intermédiare de jeunesse et reconstruction.
J'aimerai avoir tes témoignages et vos impressions (sur un chantier en inde) merci!!!!!!!!
Les chantiers indiens peuvent nous sembler primitifs et rudimentaires: pratiquement tout se fait à la main, notemment la coulée du béton dans les orifices prévus à cet effet. Les échaffaudages sont en bambou, et il faut être équilibriste pour y monter.
Des femmes, généralement intouchables, font tout le transprt des briques et du sable sur leur tête, et les hommes se chargent de la construction proprement dite.
J'ai dû prendre une ou deux photos de chantiers en juillet dernier, tellement c'était typique...
Prévoir énormément d'eau minérale (de 20 à 40 roupies la bouteille de deux litres), un couvre chef, des lunettes de soleil, et des vêtements légers en coton ou en lin.
On en trouve partout à Pondy. Un magasin contigü à la French Guest House, sur Ambour Salai, près de la station service au bord du canal qui sépare Ville Blanche et Ville Noire, fait les chemises en coton et en lin à moins de 300 roupies, et c'est parfois de la grande marque européenne fabriquée en Inde et dégriffée pour être accessible aux Indiens de la classe moyenne... Ailleurs on peut trouver des kurtas à 160 roupies (moins de 3 euros!)
Je ne viens pas t'apporter de réponse malheureusement mais te poser quelques questions!
Je suis tombée par hasard sur ton message en faisant des recherches sur internet.
Je me renseigne en effet un peu partout afin de partir un mission cet été.
Peux-tu m'expliquer rapidement le fonctionnement de Jeunesse et reconstruction?
Est-ce trop tard?
Propose t-il des missions courtes? car je ne peux partir que 15 jours (sur mes congés)
Quelles types de missions?
Malheureusement, le coût aussi m'intéresse.
Peux-tu me renseigner par exemple sur ta destination en Inde?
Merci bcp,
moi aussi je serais intéressée par des infos à ce sujet...je suis architecte et je voudrais partir 3 mois à partir de janvier 2008...peux tu m'en dire plus???
j'aimerai savoir tout de comment tu as réussi a t'inscrire et a prtir toutes les docs que tu as si tu pouvais me les passer je voudrai partir ac des potes sur un de ces chantiers
merci d'avance
Salut, pourrais tu me dire comment tu t' y es pris pour trouver ce projet de chantier en Inde? Tu pars quand? Parceque je recherche moi aussi un projet dans le but d' aider à l' étranger.
Merci d' avance pour ton aide.
My name is Valerie and I live in France. I’m a street artist—I perform street shows that blend circus and clowning. I also work as a clown in hospitals and retirement homes in France.
I’m planning to spend two months in Morocco from January 19, 2027, to March 13, 2027. I’ll be traveling in a truck, so I’ll be mobile.
I’d love to offer my time as a volunteer to perform a show that’s suitable for all audiences (kids and adults) in village squares. I’d also like to visit hospitals and orphanages as a clown.
My route will start in Nador, then head down to Merzouga, before making my way to the coast either above or below Agadir. Toward the end of my trip, I’ll return to Zagora and Merzouga before leaving from either Nador or Tangier.
I already have contacts in Merzouga and Zagora. Next, I’d like to head toward the coast above or below Agadir, and I’m looking for contacts (associations, orphanages, hospitals) in that area or along my route.
Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

My question might seem a bit out of place in a "travel" forum, but I’m giving it a shot anyway.
I’m thinking about sponsoring a child in Vietnam.
After some online research, I’ve found a lot of organizations that offer this, but I’m struggling to make a choice.
Could anyone guide me in making my decision?
Thanks in advance and have a great day.

I’m a volunteer leader at a youth center (MJC), and we’ve been deeply moved by everything happening in Madagascar—extreme poverty, endangered animals, deforestation, and so on. Plus, one of our teens has a Malagasy friend, so our group wants to travel there next year.
Throughout this year, they’ve planned fundraisers to collect donations (sheets, dish towels, schoolbooks, hygiene products, etc.) and funds to cover their trip and stay.
They’re really motivated and generous—they already volunteer in schools and senior centers, and they’re always welcomed warmly.
But so far, they haven’t found any organizations in Madagascar willing to host them for two weeks (orphanages, schools, animal protection parks, etc.).
Does anyone know of any contacts, please?
Looking forward to your replies. Have a great evening!
After 8 months of volunteering in Tanzania at a center for street children, I’d like to go back for a year in the same kind of role—this time in Burkina. So I’m looking for contacts in this field, in Ouaga or elsewhere. I’m *super* motivated! It’s been over two years since I got back from Tanzania, and I’m starting to feel restless!
Thanks so much!!
Emmanuelle.
Solidafrica is a recognized humanitarian association of general interest. We donate wheelchairs in Africa. We currently have 2 wheelchairs that we would like to give to our partner, the Benin Handisport Federation. If you're traveling to Benin, alone or with someone, we could give you one of these 2 wheelchairs (or both). Out of the 40 kg of luggage you're allowed, a wheelchair will only take up less than half. Our partner can pick it up at Cotonou Airport...
Help us give away at least one of these wheelchairs, turning your trip into a solidarity and humanitarian action.
Don't hesitate to ask us for more information.

We've already done this through the VoyageForum site, and everything went very smoothly. We're present at departure from one of the Paris airports, just in case.
Hi,
I’m interested in humanitarian missions—want to explore and help others while showing my kids how things work elsewhere and pitching in.
Looking for advice.
Hello, we’d like to travel as a family to Madagascar (2 parents, 2 kids aged 10 and 12). A first trip over 15 years ago completely amazed and moved me with its beauty, kindness, and life experiences—but also its poverty and hardship. That’s why I think it’s possible to introduce our kids to this island while also doing something useful through volunteering. The window is short—15 days in March 2020—which means avoiding the north and east of the island due to cyclones and focusing on the south instead. Some ecovolunteering projects exist online, but the cost is sometimes prohibitive, and kids are rarely accepted. Do you have any ideas or contacts? Thanks in advance!
