je souhaiterais savoir si quelqun était déja parti faire du bénévolat en inde par le biais de l'association intersejour
Cette association propose d'enseigner l'anglais aux petits indiens ... (entre autres) et comme je rentre en master d'anglais l'année prochiane je pense pouvoir apporter ma maigre contribution
Charlotte, Super idée les peits indiens vont adorer avoir une européenne comme instit!!!Mais je me demande pratiquement au départ de quel langue vas tu leur enseigner l'anglais ?connais tu l'hindi ou un autre des nombreux dialectes????
Namasté Marianne
bonjour Charlotte
j'arrive d'Inde où j'ai fait du bénévolat... moi j'aimerais avoir des informations sur "association interséjour"
peux tu me dire ce qu'ils font et si on peut les joindre, merci
bonjour Charlotte, suis allée sur le site "interséjour", merci de me l'avoir donné. Mais c'est que l'Inde du nord. Il ya le Bangalore, le sud. mai dis moi tu m'as dit que c'était une arnaque car il fau donné 1500$, personnellement j'ai donné 2000€...et suis partie en assos'...je te laisse et merci pour les infos
Bonjour et réfléchissez 5 min à ce qu'est le bénévolat!
En recherchant des missions de bénévolats sur internet on tombe des très vite sur des organismes qui "vendent le bénévolat", tel que l'association Interséjours. Il est vrai que leurs offres sont aguicheuses, ils proposent logement, visite gratuite, apprentissage de la langue et compagnie... pour la modique somme de 1500/2000 dollars !!!! BONJOUR L'ARNAQUE!!
Les offres proposées peuvent être réalisés pour un moindre coût une fois sur place. Demander leur combien reversent-ils aux petits organismes locaux, vous serrez surpris!
Je pourrais m'étendre des heures à ce sujet. Mais je préfère juste vous apportez une réflexion sur ce qu'est le bénévolat, sur cette activité qui devient de plus en plus marchande. Aujourd'hui on vous propose du bénévolat comme un séjour touristique, et non plus comme une action humaine qui vous porte à cœur et poursuit vos intérêts.
Les missions de bénévolats sont innombrables dans le monde entier, je suis persuadés que vous trouverez un contact local (qui peut être français), et qui vous donnera les bons plans (hébergement, transport pratique, visite, ...) pour la modique sommes d'un "merci". L'acte bénévole va dans les deux sens: une population vous apportera peut être bien plus que vous lui apporterez!
Bonne chance à vous dans vos recherches. Ne soyez pas trop paresseux en vous laissant aguichez par des offres toutes faites pour les gentils consommateurs. Cherchez, vous trouverez.
tu as raison pour ton coup de gueule, car effectivement de nombreux organismes ( très nombreux, et même des "connus") demandent une participation financière importante... de la part de gens qui viennent déjà avec l'idée de donner; ça rend le truc aberrant!
En l'occurrence, je cherche en ce moment, par le biais de ce forum et d'autres voies, une structure pour apporter mon aide/ participation/ action, etc. (et je ne cache pas que si ça peut être en échange de nourriture et/ou logement, je suis preneur!) en Inde. Je souhaiterais partir dès que possible; si vous avez des pistes, merci d'avance!
Et pourquoi ne partirais-tu pas à l'aventure ?
Tu vas en Inde, tu prends un bus, tu t'arrêtes dans un village non touristique de préférence, tu vas à l'école du coin et tu demandes à l'instit si tu peux venir un peu tous les jours pour faire faire aux enfants des activités en anglais.
Ca m'étonnerait qu'ils refusent, en tout cas, ça ne m'est jamais arrivé 😛
I’m a retired teacher looking for a 6-month mission (December 2026 to May 2027) in Francophone Africa. Being housed in the center would be a plus for me. I have experience in Haiti and especially in Cameroon. I’m financially independent.
Thank you.

If you're interested or know of any organization, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Retired math teacher looking for accommodation for 6 months from December 2026 to May 2027. I could volunteer to give math lessons to individuals or in institutions like schools or orphanages...

Please contact me if you know of any opportunities.
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!
