The Experience

My father has been suffering from OCD, anxiety from childhood. Need a volunteer support who can be more loving, caring, kind and can nicely feed him all OCD related medicine daily and can build a cordial friendship with my father and help him get out of his all mental and physical illness. Take him for a walk in the garden, in the road, or park.

It was a lovely homestay, the host and host's mother went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable the moment I came there. So many home cooked Bengali meals. Some of the small tasks I did brought smiles that reminded me of helping my late grandma. Daily tasks were a little different then expected, but with a little communication we found a pattern that works. Prasenjit really has some cool projects going on that I told him I'd be happy to continue helping with after I leave.

Prasenjit and his brother Debajyoti welcomed me and made me feel comfortable from the moment I reached the homestay. He is considerate about the environment and very much passionate about permaculture. I got to learn about the history, culture of that place and also about living with minimum waste. During my stay, they were always there to guide me in everything. Even though, the work was different from what I expected I had a good time. When I had to change my plans suddenly, Prasenjit understood my situation and helped me with booking a cab. Thank you for everything.
