Frequently Asked Questions

How is HCWAKS different from large volunteer organizations?

We're a small, personal operation. You'll work directly with me (Ankit) and have my personal contact for any needs during your stay.

What's included in the daily cost?

Your $10/day covers three home-cooked meals and basic lodging with a vetted host family. Any additional expenses (snacks, trekking, etc.) are separate.

Is prior experience required?

No! For teaching programs, we provide basic orientation. For farming, your host family will teach you everything you need to know.
