Visiting rural India...?

I really want to go to India in April for about 10 days. There are so many places to visit there but the truth is what would make me happiest is spending those 10 days in rural parts of India visiting families and engaging with children. I've always wanted to help out and make these children feel loved and happy. (I know that they already do but I guess that it would really make me feel happy seeing them happy...) I don't know how to go about visiting, sleeping in a place (a hut...) and living amongst them for 10 days.

My real question is where do I start..

    Yes you can. But now India does not allow this due to covid-19

    Currently India is in lock down status due to COVID 19 situation.

    India is a very vast geography. It has vastly different climatic conditions depending on where you would be. It has seas, beaches, mountains, snowy mountains, desert areas, wet rainy areas, water logged areas, dense forests, grasslands et al.

    As a result rural life is different in different parts of India. Question is - what kind of geography you would like to be in?

    And yes rural India is definitely a different experience than urban India and vastly different than Metropolitan India.

    If you are willing to spend time in rural India around Mumbai metro / Maharashtra, let me know. I can help you get rural experience. You will be safe ( unless you are too adventurous ) and as it is most of the India is always safe ( we believe - visitors are gods)

    But for now wait. Let this dark hour of COVID 19 pass over.

    Welcome to India.

    Rural India is full of delights. Especially the young women. In rural areas in third world countries you are more likely to find busty chicks (who had their mammaries enlarged by full fat milk and

     organic food alone). When a rural INdian babe drinks her glass of freshly squeezed unpasteurzed milk at night the next morning they feel bigger and plumper! Swell!

    Your intent is good but it does not work that way, and certainly not for 10 days.  If you want to experience rural India then talk to a real travel agency where you live to find out about "adventure travel" options.  DON'T try to arrange the trip on your own.  Realize a lot of India is not safe and I doubt you want to be murdered for being infidels.

    You might find that you were invited to stay in a hut with a village family if you indicated that you were interested in arranging the adoption of one or more of their children.  Adoption fees to adopt an Indian child are approximately $3,500 USD. This amount does not include any U.S.-based expenses (such as the home study, application or petition filing costs, etc.).   Try crowdfunding.

    Why do you assume that they are unhappy?
