Welcome to Life Spark International! We want to ensure that you have the best experience possible during your expedition with us. To make the most of your time with us, we strongly encourage you to arrive one day before the expedition begins. We will provide transportation and accommodations for you at a nearby hotel, where you will have the opportunity to meet our team and other volunteers, relax and prepare for the adventure ahead. Our team will be at the airport to greet you and take you to the hotel, ensuring a smooth and stress-free arrival. We can't wait to begin this journey together!

Day 1 - Orientation

Welcome to Life Spark's volunteering program! Today is our orientation day, and we are thrilled to have you join us. We will kick off the day with a group breakfast, where you can connect with fellow volunteers and team members.

During breakfast, we will provide an overview of the week's plan, discuss essential safety measures, and introduce you to Life Spark's mission and the challenges faced by our non-profit partners.

After breakfast, we will dive deeper into the organizations and partner schools we will be working with and the specific challenges they require assistance with.

Later in the day, we will visit some of the most iconic tourist attractions in New Delhi. We will wrap up the day with a family-style dinner, where you can socialize and connect with your fellow volunteers and team members.

Thank you for choosing to volunteer with Life Spark. We are excited to work together towards achieving our shared goals.

Join us for a day of learning and discovery! We'll start with a group yoga session, followed by a visit to local non-profit organizations and communities. This is a unique opportunity for us to gain insight into the challenges they face and identify ways in which we can help build sustainable solutions to increase the impact of their work. After lunch, we'll visit another non-profit partner and work with them to understand their challenges and expectations from us.

At the end of the day, we'll return to the hotel for a debriefing session over dinner, where we can reflect on our experiences and share our thoughts and ideas. This will help us to better understand how we can collaborate with our partners to make a real difference in the lives of those we serve.

Group yoga to start our day!

Start your day with a group yoga session to get energized and refreshed! After breakfast, we will debrief and head out to meet survivors and hear their stories. We will spend a few hours with them, learning about their lives and how they have overcome challenges.

Post lunch, we will visit one of the famous markets in Kathmandu, where you can immerse yourself in the vibrant local culture and explore the unique shops and stalls. We will then visit another iconic tourist attraction, the Monkey Temple, to witness the beautiful sunset of Nepal.

After a day of exploration, we will return to the hotel for dinner and free time to spend with each other before going to bed.

Self-development day and Impact Workshop!

We will start early in the morning to visit some breathtaking views as part of our self-development time. After lunch, we will form teams and work together to formulate ideas and outline solutions to the challenges faced by our non-profit partners.

We will work as long as we need, with the option to take breaks whenever required. Dinner will be served at the hotel, giving everyone a chance to relax and socialize after a productive day of learning and problem-solving.

Impact Workshop Day 2!

We will start the day with breakfast, followed by a review of the previous day's work and any additional information or assistance needed to develop solutions with our non-profit partners.

During the day, we will have lunch, two tea breaks, and dinner served at the venue, allowing you to make the most of your time while working on solutions.

Final Day of Impact Workshop

We will begin the day with group yoga followed by a team breakfast. Afterward, we will continue working on our solutions with the support of leadership from the non-profits available to answer any questions we may have.

Post lunch, we will start preparing for the final presentation where we will showcase our solutions to the non-profit partners and fellow volunteers. The best solutions will be rewarded.

After the presentation, we will celebrate with a final/farewell dinner together (party time).

Join us for a morning group yoga session to start your day off right. Afterward, enjoy a delicious breakfast and participate in a final debrief with our team to reflect on your experiences and the impact you made during your time with us.

As the expedition ends, volunteers will begin departing at their leisure. We hope that you take with your valuable memories, new friendships, and a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by the communities and non-profits we serve. Thank you for your dedication and commitment to making a difference.
