Volunteers need to be flexible, need to be considerate of culture and tradition, need to be aware of the social implications of their work and their actions in these communities and most of all need to be sensitive to the opinions of the communities as when the volunteers leave, as the communities must live with and uphold the projects. | Nov 2008- currently in India

The last four months involved with the AWF/Bholu Anganwadi project has been one of the most transformative periods of my life. I have learnt so much in this short time which has only inspired me to keep doing this work and attempting to spend my life in service of those in need. For now, my time in Ahmedabad is ending, but I feel happy that I have made a small contribution to so many new beginnings for the children in the slum communities and hope that I have been able to bring some of the life here into all of your lives. | Nov 2008- March 2009

It was an amazing experience, that I would not trade for the world. I think everyone MUST do it! Every person has the ability to make a difference and has the opportunity to bring something new to the project with personality, interaction and communication. Thank you for allowing me to partake | Jan 2009 - Feb 2009

I LOVED the experience and would absolutely go back. It definitely deeply affected me as a person and I took on new lessons in life, a lot more than I ever thought I would or could in 2 weeks. it is enriching on so many levels, yet so hard to describe and put into words | Jan 2009 - Feb 2009
