Since the clinic opened in September 1996, a number of volunteers have contributed their skills and experience in the areas of allopathy, advertising, publishing, medical research, interpreting, website building and others. We welcome serious and committed volunteers, with an awareness of, and sensitivity towards the complex issues of the Bhopal disaster. A working knowledge of Hindi will make your stay more enjoyable but is not essential.

As valuable as professional experience in a certain field can be, the ability to respect the collective spirit of working at Sambhavna and to enjoy making a contribution is of equal importance. Also important is a willingness to pass on your skills as far as possible so that the clinic benefits in the longer term. We assure you that it is not all hard work. Past volunteers will tell you that they have really enjoyed  working on socially relevant issues and learning things that school didn't teach. However, we do urge you to think carefully before considering the voluntary positions outlined below. We can offer you food, accommodation and a unique working atmosphere but we are unable to cover any other costs.

Feel free to ask further questions and get more details by contacting us at sambavna@sancharnet.in
