Work and Learn Hindi Program
Taking a language abroad program while you work is always a good option as it allows you to start practicing your language skills from the first day of work. Hindi and Sanskrit languages have become quite popular among youth travelers as it offers more exchange opportunities than anything else does. It is one of the recommended work abroad programs for career break participants who are booked on either long or short language abroad program. Learn Hindi Program is designed in such a manner that the volunteers are able to speak Hindi right from the first day. At Adventure Experience volunteering, a very simple and natural way is used to teach Hindi, the same manner in which the mother tongue is learnt by the volunteers. Here, volunteers are made to learn sentences that they need in daily use to communicate with the local people. Since, the meaning or explanation is also made known well in advance, it makes it easier for the volunteers to learn and grasp it with ease.
So, if you wish to volunteer in India and help those in need, then have a look at a number of programs offered by We Volunteer in India- Adventure Experience Volunteering.
A language imbibes the feel of the era and tradition through which it travels. Language has a big heart and it is a key to the development of personality. This program allows you to learn Hindi in India while you volunteer in India.
Henna Workshop
5000 years in Pakistan, India, Africa and the Middle East. There is some documentation that it is over 9000 years old. Because henna has natural cooling properties, people of the desert, for centuries, have been using henna to cool down their bodies. They make a and soak their paste of henna palms and soles of the feet in it to get an air conditioning affect. They feel its cooling sensation throughout the body for as long as the henna stain remains on their skin. Initially, as the stain faded away, it left pattern on the skin surface which led to ideas to make designs for decorative purposes. In the ancient Egyptian times mummies wore henna designs and it is documented that Cleopatra herself used henna for decorative purposes.
Henna was not only a popular adornment for the rich but the poor, who could not afford jewelry, used it to decorate their bodies as well.
Traditions:
Henna is traditionally used for special occasions like holidays, Birthdays and weddings in Africa, Pakistan, India, and the Middle East. The most popular of the traditions is the Mehndi (henna) Night where the bride, her family, relatives and friends get together to celebrate the wedding to come. The night is filled with games, music and dance performances that may have been rehearsed for months prior to the event by those closest to the bride while the bride gets extensive henna patterns done on her hands and feet that go to her elbows and sometimes, knees. The bridal patterns can take hours and are often done by multiple henna artists the guests will usually receive small designs (tattoos) on the backs of their hands as well.
Today, brides prefer to have their henna done prior to the mehndi night so that they can enjoy the festivities and also have a deeper stain by the wedding day.
Tradition holds that for as long as the henna stain appears on the bride, she doesn’t have to do any housework! Also, the darker the stain the better the marriage and the better the mother-in-law will be! So you can imagine why the bride would want the stain to come our dark and last as long as possible!
Sari Workshop
The workshop began with an introduction to the history and tradition of the sari, its journey from the single garment adorning an Indian woman centuries ago, to its adaptations and regional interpretations today.
