Volunteer project in India

Hello everyone,   My name is Annie. I am going into my senior year of studies as a philosophy major at The University of New Hampshire. This summer, I am blessed with an exciting opportunity to volunteer abroad in India. I will be teaching young women English and vocational skills as part of a women's empowerment program in Delhi. In case you are unfamiliar, India is a primarily male dominated society. Pre-determined gender roles often force women into subordinate and domesticated lifestyles, and restrict opportunities for success in education and employment. I am excited to work with a team that encourages women's independence and success, and advances these opportunities by providing English, computer, and vocational training to women in poverty stricken areas. As expected, with air-fare and travel fees the expenses of this trip add up. Any support I can get for this adventure would be greatly appreciated. By donating, you will help to propel an important cause, and support my opportunity to leave a meaningful impact in the lives of young women in India. You will also be helping me to expand my awareness of cultural and social differences in the world, and better myself through this process. I hope you will consider supporting me on this journey!   To learn more about the organziation I will be volunteering with, please visit https://www.volunteerglobal.com/plan-my-gap-year  or http://www.planmygapyear.co.uk/
