Shiva and the NGO team are stellar people. I have been here almost two weeks and it feels like you are part of the family. They looked after me when I was not well and helped me to recover. I am really impressed with the fab work of the NGO in the slums. The schools are buzzing with amazing cheerful kids whose love and energy is so contagious and the girls at the vocational school are just so great! Spending time in the slums connecting to people who just open their homes, heart and soul goes beyond words...It is really touching and gives a beautiful perspective on the essence of life. I look forward to see this NGO grow and contribute to more project (currently working on some ideas). I also hope to make it to the mountains and check out the project there.
I really feel that this experience contributed to my personal growth and that I have new special friends;) thank you everyone there!!!

If you are looking for a really worthwhile and fun volunteer opportunity in Delhi then definitely do this. You can also volunteer at their project in the Uttrakhand mountains where they have amazing views and peaceful environment.
Thank you Shiva for a truly great experience and ordering Dominos Pizza for me! :)
My 10 days with Pete Project were my first days in India and my first days in
Delhi. It was a time with a lot of fun, unexpected experiences and time
which I will never forget. Shiva is someone who cares for you and for
your further plans. Also when you are continue your trip he will offer
his help to you. The NGO is a good place for getting to know India from a different view. I got offered a place to sleep and we went out for food every day to the inside places.
Thank you for everything!
