The all-day slot pays a ₹500 stipend, and your travel is reimbursed when you show the receipts. The 4-hour slots have no stipend or travel reimbursement.

Every volunteer gets lunch and tea.

When you reach Mandala Cultural Centre, go all the way down inside to the Dhaatu Puppet Museum and ask to meet Anupama ma'am.
