  This gives us great happiness to introduce NewBeginnings Charitable Trust (NCT) to you. NewBeginnings was formed with a coming together of five professional social workers who have been in this field for more than 10 years. The Vision of the Organisation is "Together for a better world”. This is our spirit behind making everything possible and gives meaning and the purpose to our existence.
  
  Volunteering and NCT (Hosting Organisation): It has been one of the persistent requests from the partner organizations to have volunteers to assist them in their works. We have been receiving volunteers from various European countries for the last 5 years and as of now, there are 19 volunteers working in 14 partner ngos across India. Since we work with a large number of partner ngos locally, the need for placing volunteers with our partner ngos is also at increase. Though we place volunteers with our local partner ngos, NCT remains the primary hosting organisation for the volunteers.
  
  Our networking programmes in India covers almost any part of the country except Jammu and Kashmir. If a volunteer wants to work with any voluntary Organisation on any particular issues, we have our partner ngos to suit the need of the volunteer. The volunteer programme is so flexible that the visiting volunteer plan such a way that makes his/her stay a memorable and exciting one. The volunteer can choose to work in cities, in small towns or remote villages, or even with tribal communities on the hilly areas.
  
  Programmes are available year round and start dates are entirely flexible. The volunteers are provided with accommodation and meals within the organisation. However, if the volunteer or Sending Organisation wishes to the accommodation to be outside the project, NCT will be happy to provide.
  
  NCT provides volunteering opportunities every youth irrespective of nationalities/ gender/ religions etc. We provide volunteering opportunities within the evs or outside the evs, however, we strongly recommend the volunteers to be part of evs programme so that he/she may avoid the huge expenses. However, if any volunteer wants to volunteer outside the evs, you are always welcome to contact us. We will provide you the best possible opportunities.
  
  NCT gives top priority to the safety and privacy to our volunteers and all our partners are carefully chosen after screening them for safety.
