<p>EduCARE India has been providing volunteer support services to local Red Cross and a charity hospital during COVID-19 pandemic response in capacity building and strategic initiatives, including infrastructural development, community kitchen, new strategic initiatives, training and development, community disaster education, and emergency first aid.</p>
<p>EduCARE India volunteers and international students in internship, namely Freja from Denmark and Julia from Netherlands had initiated a "Kangra Fights Corona" initiative in the initial weeks of the lockdown in March and April 2020 while working at our Centre for Environment, Health and Safety set up in partnership with local Red Cross, Disaster Management Authority, and Maple Leaf Hospital. This initiative aimed to spread message of community mobilisation for support to vulnerable individuals and families and spreading positivity and hope during the initial days of panic and chaos of coronavirus/covid-19 pandemic response.</p>
<p>Later this initiative was merged into another initiative - SEHAT SEVA (<strong>S</strong>ocial-care <strong>E</strong>mpowerment, <strong>H</strong>ealth <strong>A</strong>dvocacy and <strong>T</strong>elemedicine through <strong>S</strong>ocial <strong>E</strong>ntrepreneurship and <strong>V</strong>olunteer <strong>A</strong>ction) that EduCARE India had started working on to deliver public health and medical outreach services to needy and elders at home during the lockdowns with support of our various stakeholders - Red Cross, Emergency Operations Centre, Block Medical Office, and Maple Leaf Hospital.</p>
<p>A "Red Cross Psycho-social Support Centre" was also established to help the stuck up international and national tourists and the migrants in distress.</p>
<p>A residential "De-addiction and Rehabilitation Centre" was re-started to meet the rising needs of the patients.</p>
<p>A Community Kitchen was started in support of the visiting patients, and launched an online charity heritage auction to help the charity hospital raise funds.</p>
<p>Awareness visits were facilitated for frontline health-workers and Corona warriors.</p>
<p>Some of the disused hospital facilities were refurbished to prepare for possible rising emergency admissions at the hospital medical facilities.</p>
<p>Engaged and facilitated several national and overseas international students and young professionals for online volunteer work and internships in support of ongoing work and their academic fieldwork certificate and experiential learning needs.</p>
<p>Organised several workshops, seminars and workshops in support of some of the causes and sustainable development goals.</p>

As I have travelled through India I have been intrigued with how resilient the Tibetan people are and have been through out history. I will leave the deep seeded historical details for academic historians, who have more knowledge that I, to write about.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
My interest comes more from a social and community interest and peeked more as I have been staying in Dharamshala, McCloud Ganj, the location of the Dahli Lama and the Tibetan exiled government in India.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This is recent history, I was barely a toddler in Canada when this was going on. Following a decade of political turmoil which started with the invasion of China into Tibet, the Chinese overthrew the Tibetan government. The Dhali Lama, on a self imposed exile, took refuge in India, with his government and over 100000 Tibetan people following.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This year marks 60 years since the Tibetan government went to India in exile, and during these six decades over a million Tibetan people have been killed, and hundreds of thousands of women have been killed, sterilized or forced into abortion, by the Chinese government. Many Tibetan citizens have been murdered for speaking out, in their own country, which continues to be under Communist Chinese rule with no freedom of religion, speech, or press.<br />
Somewhere in the neighbourhood of 6000 Tibetan monasteries have been since obliterated by the Chinese and they have harvested the Tibetan natural resources to near depletion. Over 80% of the Tibetan forests have been destroyed, and large amounts nuclear and toxic waste have been disposed of in Tibet, the starting point for all 10 major rivers that run through the rest of Asia.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The turmoil of the 50’s you would think would be insurmountable but the Tibetan people are not only physically resilient from living in such high mountains with such difficult conditions they appear to be mentally resilient too, to have survived such torture and loss in their country, invaded by China. But it has gotten worse, since that time. The Chinese government policies have almost completely destroyed the Tibetan culture in Tibet. Chinese is now the official language of Tibet and only one in seven people are Tibetan, with the number of Tibetan people continuing to plummet.</div>

In India, the Tibetan people face unreasonable economic and social circumstances. They have not been able to identify as refugees, which they are, but rather on paper, in India, Tibetan people are considered as foreigners. They are not allowed to hold government employment and in some cases Universities will not allow Tibetan refugees to enrol. Some say this is the Indian Government’s way of being sensitive to not try to assimilate the Tibetan people. Some Tibetan people living in India say not having citizenship in India causes extreme difficulties when trying to migrate as many countries are not open to refugees from Tibet, while others stay in India and strive to keep their culture alive. Even with unspoken pressure (from family and friends) to take refuge in other countries can be overwhelming to some Tibetan refugees in India.<br />
I visited the Tibetan Cultural centre a few weeks ago and I was truly impressed with how that institute continues to teach Tibetan culture so that the younger generation can carry on.

The Dahli Lama, the spiritual and political leader of Tibetans, an icon, in this world, has and continues to carry the message of peace, supporting and blessing hundreds of initiatives to make life better for the people of this world. Locally, in India, he brings this message concentrated for Indians and Tibetans alike. In fact the Dahli Lama calls India his second home. The Dahli Lama’s foundation has contributed one half a million Indian Rupees to the Indian Medical Association’s facilities.<br />
Recently the Women’s association of Dharamshala has worked with the Tibetan Nun’s on the issue of taxi safety by creating a Woman’s Taxi Service, Pink Wheels Taxi. This service should be available within the year in McLeod Ganj, where most of the Nun’s require taxi service. The Dahli Lama has blessed this initiative.</div>

I have spent the last few months travelling in Asia and have met and seen people in some very impoverished, overwhelming circumstances but the Tibetan people in India, also in some very impoverished circumstances, seem to have a way to make you feel like there is hope for all of the world. It seems through the belief and blessings of the Dahli Lama, they manage to carry on, in spite of the physical and emotional scares from the past.</div>

<span style="vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 13.3333px; white-space: pre-wrap;">When I first arrived in Naddi after resigning from my comfortable sales job at a tech giant in Mumbai, I had limited knowledge about the development sector and the catastrophic environmental challenges daunting our planet. The radical decision to leave a prosperous career in advertising technology and join Educare as an intern was fueled by my persisting urge to find a deeper purpose in my professional life.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana";"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I started the Solid Waste Management project of resource recovery with my two French project </span></span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 13.3333px; white-space: pre-wrap;">partners, Graham and Gaston. At first, none of us had the slightest idea that our project would </span><span style="font-family: "verdana"; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px; white-space: pre-wrap;">manifest into what we have managed to achieve today. After the initial two weeks of intensive r</span></span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 13.3333px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;">esearch on the subject, we concluded that we wanted to design a zero-waste system for the Naddi village on the pillars of the concepts of ‘Circular Economy’ and ‘Waste is Resource/Food’. Generated waste should either enter a biological cycle where it decomposes and provides nutrients to the soil, or a technical cycle that ensures a closed-loop manufacturing system of upcycling and downcycling. Essentially, our goal was to use the waste to support the biosphere and the technosphere - a biomimetic approach we had recently studied.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
With our foundations solid and goal set, we now had to work on innovating a localized solution for this global challenge. This was the point when our Chief Director, Mr. Bhullar, introduced us to the concept of systems and design thinking, and we decided to break our goal into two tasks. First, to design a prototype of - what we now call - a ‘RRC’ (Resource Recovery Center), a platform for collection and segregation (within 30 categories) of resources. Second, to create a system around the RRC to facilitate effective and smooth collection, segregation, storage, transportation, and sustainable disposal of resources. Adopting and practicing this newly learnt approach helped us streamline our efforts, improve our focus, and see a holistic picture of what we had set out to accomplish. We were able to connect the dots and virtually actualize a systemic flow of resources from consumers to destinations of their sustainable treatment. While community engagement and behaviour change was an important component of our project, the main objective for us - as told by Mr. Bhullar - was to set up a sustainable system of resource recovery that could be continued by future interns (as it was done by Sami from Finland and Shivani from Canada).</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Because we had limited resources and limited knowledge in design, it took us several attempts to develop and perfect the existing RRC. It was a continuous process of design, implementation, evaluation, and amelioration - a cycle, but a forward moving one. Moreover, in order to create a system of intelligent disposal, we made multiple trips to the nearest wholesale waste buyers and recycling facilities to understand the market for the resources we intended to sell, as well as to establish a transport system with them. Not only did these trips acquaint us with the monetary value of each material, but also helped us gain new knowledge concerning the recycling industry, allowing us to better develop the RRC. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As illustrated in the images below, all our RRCs differ from each other aesthetically but are founded upon the same model. In order to succeed, we had to be flexible with our design but rigid with its essence. We had to move away from the ‘one size fits all’ approach and customize every RRC based on the context (location, free space available, community restrictions, and the resources at our disposal). Nothing comes easy when you work as an intern for an NGO in rural India. Yet, that is a virtue in itself; it forces you to become resourceful in your work and encourages you to do more with less. Such an environment also gives rise to frugal innovation - an approach I have been familiar with since childhood, but had deeply rooted within me after this stint. What I learnt from this experience is something that no classroom could have ever taught me.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">After completing my master’s degree in
mechanical engineering in the UK, I came to intern at Naddi as part of
the EduCARE team. I planned to only spend a month and a half interning, so I
came with preconceived ideas of what I wanted to build and the components
required. Hence, I set forth on designing a micro scale concentrator
photovoltaic system (CPV), this technology generates electricity from sun light
and uses lenses and curved mirrors to focus sunlight onto a solar panel. CPV
technology has been used to improve the power output of a solar panel by 350
times, however on the budget and time constraints my aim was to double the
power output. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Within the first couple of days in Naddi, I
discovered that solar power was currently being used by the majority of the
street lights in Himachal Pradesh (HP). Every solar street light used a 40W
solar panels and 40Ah battery, this ensured the lowest possible probability of
loss of power supply and did not require to be connected to grid power. This
was important in HP, as the street lights prevented accidents, so reliable
constant lighting was key, and they were often deployed in remote locations.
However, the cost of the solar lights, limited their deployment to more highly
populated areas. I believed that a micro scale CPV system would be very
applicable to these solar street lights, as it could reduce the cost of each
light and improve its reliability.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">I set about designing a CPV system, using
the components I had brought with me, including a solar panel, solar charge
controller, battery, Arduino and lenses. Surprisingly, the majority of the
solar panel components were available in HP, however I was glad that I came
prepared. The first step was to configure a solar panel set up, to test my
components. Once that was completed, I designed a solar tracker, which rotated
the solar panel to face the sun, so that lens remained focused on the solar
panel. This was the most difficult part of the project, as it required me to
design a frame for the panel to rotate about. Luxuries that I was used to, such
as 3d printers and laser cutting was unavailable. Hence, I was forced to be
more creative, I used recycled materials to design the frame including plastic
bottles and scrap wood, making the design more environmentally friendly and
cost effective. In the future of my project, I would aim to design a lens
mounting system and make the product more robust.</span><br />
<br />
The freedom of the project and the
self-motivation has really helped me to enjoy my time here. I have had so much
fun hanging out with the other interns, my favourite experience was going
paragliding with them, in the quaint mountain village of Bir. This was a once
in a life time opportunity and I am glad I took it.</div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">After studying Chemical Engineering in UK, I got interested in renewable energies. I came across the internship opportunities offered abroad in India by EduCARE India NGO in micro-scale renewable / alternative energy projects in EduCARE India. I spend the month of July in induction training and settling down. Prof Kalia, a resource person / mentor with EduCARE India listened to my interest and ideas. He gave me some solar panels and diodes asking me to learn and build a small and economical solar light solar panel that can serve the rural poor. I needed more materials. The month of August had brought the challenge
of sourcing and buying the materials required to make the solar light
prototypes. Considering that I am used to online sources being quite reliable
and usually the cheapest option, trying to source materials in India brought
about a whole different experience for me. Here it is the opposite, where
generally a material sourced online tends to cost more than buying in person. I
have had to practice being very patient, as online or telephone communication
was also proving to be quite a challenge. Despite numerous emails and phone
calls, the correspondence was not progressing.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Through consulting another external
mentor, Prof. Abhijeet directed me to Asia’s biggest electronics market in Delhi, where I could find everything I
needed. Being new to electronics myself, this would also prove to be an
educational trip as having a market setting provides a very close up look to
numerous equipment available. Despite having to journey to Delhi by my ownself, this trip was
incredibly useful, learning to work and lead my work independently, as asked of interns at EduCARE India. Winding through the narrow alleyways filled with small
stalls, selling every possible electronics component imaginable was
overwhelmingly interesting. Had I not planned to journey back to Punjab that
night I could have spent days exploring this market with a lot of fascination.
The navigation through this somehow ordered chaos was an experience all on its
own. The stream of people going through spaces barely wide enough for 2 people
side by side, trying to avoid being hit by boxes being carried over your head
by porters forcing their way through the crowd, trying and failing to keep
track of what direction I was going in, making the mistake of thinking I could
return to a stall if I didn’t find a cheaper price elsewhere and not being able
to find it again. It was fascinating and exhausting at the same time. After
spending more than 6 hours walking through the market and managing to buy
everything on my list, I was definitely ready to sit down for a relaxing meal
before my journey back to Punjab.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">As cost is a big consideration for
the product development, this market setting where one can haggle proved to be
very useful. It is also important to try and make the product as
environmentally friendly as possible. Taking inspiration from the “Litre of
light” project in the Phillipines, making use of plastic bottles as the
container for the light can be very beneficial to reuse / recycle some of the plastic waste in
the local community. In order to make the product more appealing, an idea is to
engage the incredible creativity of the local children to design an artistic
exterior for the bottle. The biggest challenge in designing the prototype is
how to keep it as simple as possible and how to achieve the highest brightness
using the lowest amount of power as possible.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">On the less
technical side - after two and a half months of working at EduCARE I decided it
was time to take a break. Therefore, I had decided to time my holiday to visit
my family in Gujarat with the religious festival called Navratri which is
dedicated to the Godess Durga. The festival lasts for 9 days and to celebrate
everybody gets together every night for a few hours to dance “garba” which is a
incredibly energetic and fun group folk dance. It is all-inclusive as you see a
mixture of all ages and different backgrounds dancing together. Having grown up
celebrating this festival in London, being able to experience it in Gujarat is
something I have always wished for and is now something that I will never be able
to forget. </span></div>

I arrived in India on 2<sup>nd</sup> of September, nervous
but excited for what the next month and a half would hold. The first stop was
Naddi, where the induction took place. So high up in the mountains, the view
was beautiful. Once I got there, Shirly showed me to my homestay family.
Although only anticipating to stay there for three days, the other interns had
to register, which in an Indian fashion took longer than expected. I was
delighted to stay with this family for nearly 10 days, they were so welcoming
and loving. The food was delicious, every night sitting around the home made
stove on the floor and chatting to Milan, her brother and her sister. The
mother of the family, although she didn’t speak a lot of English, was so
delighted to have us there and joined in as much as she could. She really felt
like my temporary mum for the time I was there, doing my hair and even leaping
out of bed at 4 in the morning on the day I left to give me a kiss and tell me
to come back soon. Finally we set off for Harike, Janus, Marc, Ankur and I. We
left Naddi at 4 in the morning and a few buses and 7 hours later we arrived. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The heat was something new, from raining in Naddi to
sweating every second in Harike, but I think we got used to it pretty quickly.
The day after we arrived I jumped straight into the Girls Sports Club project,
meeting all the girls and playing an exhausting 2 hours of football. The girls
were amazing with so much energy and excitement. </div>

Since then we started to incorporate other activities,
although football is fun for the girls they don’t go away having learnt much.
We started relays, which were amazing for team building and the girls loved it.
But most importantly we started self-defence in sports club. I think this is a
vital skill that all girls should be taught in order to protect them selves, especially
in the world they live. We did this by demonstrating each move, then put the
girls into pairs and got them one pair at a time to perform each one. When any
mistake was made I would show them again and get the girls to repeat it until
they got it. This week they were so into it that the girls were correcting each
other and I was so happy to see this. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Every class we finish with meditation and the girls are
improving so much, concentration coming much more easily to them as the weeks
go on. I really hope this carries on and the girls incorporate it into their
lives, because especially as they grow up, this tool could be an amazing way to
help them deal with stress and frustration.</div>

During the first week Ankur, took us around the community
for chai at different houses and I loved this experience. It really felt like
we were moulding into the culture and community, every house we went to, we
were met with friendly faces and unbelievable hospitality. I think without
Ankur, the whole community engagement experience, would not have been the same.
He took us straight in and because he speaks the language and has built up a
relationship with the community, immediately we could connect with them. Adi’s
family were some of the most welcoming people and really made me feel at home.
The village leaders house also, the whole family is so smiley and warm. The two
sisters I see every week, Manpreet and Sahit are his daughters, so I am there frequently.
We were all invited for dinner one night and the food was delicious!</div>

Loveleen’s mum also is fantastic and the woman I have been

cup of tea. She is making me a Punjabi outfit for before I leave, which I am so
excited about. </div>

Beautiful Loveleen has come out of her shell with me and it
is so nice to see her confidence. The husband/father of these two is very
orthodox and has been a cause of great frustration for Ankur and I because of
his unwillingness to allow Loveline to participate in any activities. This is due
to the belief she must learn the skills encompassing a good housewife. Ankur
and I have accepted that we can only help who we can and the thought ‘pick your
battles’ was our resolve.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

The next activity for the first week in Harike was Saturday’s
girls club. On Wednesday I told them to come at 4 o’clock on Saturday. I really
wanted to get a chance to see them more than once a week and have a go at
acting. My first session I found slightly challenging; it was an idea I had
really wanted to experiment with when I arrived here. Luckily I had Ankur to
translate and explain the task. I gave the girl scenarios for them to play out.
Firstly splitting them into two and assigning one group, a girl wanting to be a
police officer to make her town safer and the challenges she faces and the
other a girl wanting to be a doctor and the challenges she would face. The girl
responded really well and most made a real effort to act and be serious. Let me
tell you, gosh they have improved since this first session. I also adapted it
slightly so that each group before they perform must tell the audience (me and
the other girls) their message. From this has come really strong association
with problems and how to approach them. For the most recent session I told the
girls that to their play (domestic violence and violence towards women in the
public sphere) they must include one of the self-defence moves I had taught
them in sports class. I was so happy with the outcome because they had really
taken on what we had taught them and remembered the moves correctly. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
At the end of every girls club we do some dancing and this
makes me laugh so much. The girls and I even tried some Punjabi freestyling to
‘Single ladies’ by Beyonce. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was keen to teach the girls about meditation. Although
slightly skeptical in the beginning due to their huge energy, they surprised me
from the get go and really made an effort and engaged with me. After this I
finished off each week’s session with 10 minutes or so meditation time. I have
become so connected to the girls and see such potential in all of them.</div>

For the Women’s health club in the first week Ankur and I
spent time engaging the women and in the second week, on the Monday it began.
For the first session Loveleen and her mum came, a few friends of hers and
Manpreet and Poonam (the local resource people). To start off, I explained the
foundations of yoga and meditation and Ankur translated. We then did Chakra
chanting, pranayama and meditation, finishing off with the asanas. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For the first week I had definitely entered expecting a
little too much from their fitness, believing we would be able to complete the
modified primary series of ashtanga (with a few extra modifications). But this
was overly optimistic and I adapted on the spot to massively simplify the
sequence, while also cutting it down to about 7 asanas over all.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I had hoped for a stronger response from this health class,
because I can see how much it would truly help these women but this is where
you see the effects of the culture. The women are the homemakers and because of
this they very busy either cooking for their family, making tea for guests,
washing, cleaning etc. This issue had made it hard to ensure attendance every
week for yoga. I have not lost hope however, as I have written in my project
manual, I really believe this project still has great potential.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>More time is definitely needed and I am sad
to not have longer, but this time could be used to explore the best time in the
day and day in the week for women in the community. Once there is some
consistency then this project will build momentum even if the regular group is
only 6-8. Starting small is okay because then once these women start to feel
the benefits, they can tell others. </div>

Living in the center has been a great experience. It’s such
a nice open plan house that has really come to feel like home. Including our
pet buffalo, which was a bit of a surprise when we first arrived, but she has
now come to feel the same as a normal house pet, although a lot larger and more
horned. </div>

much as possible, in the most sibling way. But really, I am so thankful to Ankur, who has taught me a

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The second
month revealed the diversity and complexity of project management in the

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">During this
quarterly event we learned about COMPLEX PROJECT MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES, and on
the kinds of THINKING one adopts in his/her everyday work in development. E.g.
we had to determine which thinking style we use, i.e. we had to think about
thinking, such as whether we’re an analyst, follower, learner, creator,
inventor or talker & leader. I judged myself to be a learner, because one
gains so many soft skills as well as knowledge about the development sector
while living and working in the communities on ground. Also, one almost
inevitably becomes a LEARNER because development work is so multifaceted- It
involves building rapport and knowledge exchange with local authorities at the
governmental level, regarding my waste management project this meant meeting
the district coordinator on sanitation and waste management(<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Please see blog for June<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>“The challenge but also massive opportunity of inducing
sustainability and environmental conservation in rural India”)<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b></i>as well as doing field trips to

work also involves ONLINE RESEARCH, in my case on the INDIAN CONTEXT, on GOOD
PRACTICE SITES and on factors to consider when planning and implementing such a
project. Furthermore, the multifaceted nature of development domains such as
solid waste management does not stop with the various stakeholders involved. In
order for it to be encompassing and sustainable it must involve APPLIED
RESEARCH that covers all types of groups or beneficiaries, in my case in the
village of Naddi this means including parties as diverse as market food stands,
grocery shops, laundry services, restaurants, hairdressers, households and
hotels. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">COMMUNITY
ENGAGEMENT thus is crucial and this is where health and education kick in, a
crucial desired output of many development projects, including mine. For my
project community engagement, e.g. includes holding workshops on sustainable
waste practices on the grounds of reduce, reuse, recycle as well as doing a
community cleanup with the entire village that also involves an educational
component. Furthermore, probably most importantly, it also means collecting
data of the entire village on waste behaviours and views as well as on their
appraisal of the current waste management in place(or lack of thereof). Hence,
attaining LOCAL OWNERSHIP, will likely achieve greater satisfaction among the
community and thus also achieve greater sustainability. For my project to be
sustainable and to have the most comprehensive and lasting impact I need to
consider and incorporate all stakeholders, e.g. through doing surveys with all
stakeholders such as the ones listed above. It also implies collaborating with
project managers from other development domains of the organization. In my
case, this e.g. means collecting soft plastic for the participants of the Young
Women’s Association which they use to make cushions and pillows. Through doing
this, the women can use waste as a resource and don’t have to spend money on
purchasing new cushions but instead reuse existing waste material to make
something new. In other words, waste is no longer wasted but given a new
purpose. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Thus,
THINKING BIG is crucial. THINKING SYSTEMS and DESIGN is important. THINKING
COMPLEX is essential. The more comprehensive, the more planned, the more
researched and the more encompassing a development project is, the greater its
likelihood of success- It is key to SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT.</span></div>

I decided to leave my job in Edinburgh, UK and come to India to start a project with EduCARE India in Himachal Pradesh. This was my biggest test, to see if i had what it takes to move into the International development sector. I wanted to be challenged and pushed far out of my comfort zone not only personally but as an engineer. Based in the rural village, Naddi, at the base of the himalayan mountains was about as far away from an office job as it gets!</span></div>

My time spent living with my local host family, surrounded by views of the himalayas, was one of the best experiences of my life. This community-applied research not only helped me build my project but gave me the opportunity to see how the family lived and get to know them. I was amazed by the indian hospitality as they encouraged me to sit with them while they made momos to sell in their shop, drink chai together and humoured my extremely limited hindi.</span></div>

While bacteria typically represent the most immediate health problems a variety of chemical contaminants such as pesticides, industrial waste and even household chemicals can impact the safety of water and on the environment. Long term chronic exposure to chemical contaminants can lead to cancer, kidney and liver issues and diseases of the reproductive systems. Therefore the development of effective, affordable ‘green’ technologies for chemical contaminant removal in remote rural areas such as Naddi is important to me.</span></b></div>

Many development projects are formed with good intentions but are not always suitable for the community. My project is still in its very early stages but I am passionate about utilising a local waste residue and involving the community in building a water treatment system that is sustainable. Through other development work in other countries I found out about biochar….</span></b></div>

For example, biochar can made from heating agricultural or forestry residue. Biochar filters work similarly to carbon filters which have been used for thousands of years as far back as the ancient egyptians. Can’t get much more ‘tried and tested’ than the ancient egyptians!. Local biochar is ideally made from agricultural and forestry residues and/ or sustainably harvested renewable woody biomasses whereas most commercially made carbon are made from non renewable coal. But what forestry residue could I use in Naddi, that was sustainable and easily available? In Himachal pradesh, pine needles are identified as major cause for forest fires, causing immense threat to environment, forest biodiversity and local economy. The needles that fall cover the ground in thick net and prohibit air to pass across, thereby, hindering the growth of grass on the ground. This phenomenon leaves no option for the local community other than setting the needles on fire; else it becomes almost impossible for them to feed their cattle. The needles, being highly flammable in nature, not only pollute the environment by burning themselves, but also take entire biodiversity into their gulp. I have only been in Naddi for a month yet i have witnessed one major forest fire.</span></b></div>

Culture, language, traditions and people are different whether you're north, south, west or east. Every day I discover something new, I am a bit like a child, I am very curious about what surrounds me and the environment in which I evolve. The food is so delicious, certainly very spicy but I really love it ! However, before going to India, it is important to inquire because it is very different from the Western countries.</span></b></div>

First of all, life at the Harike Center. It is a collocation with several people from different countries, working on different projects, with different skills and experiences. Living with this small community irremediably creates links. It is a complex that complements each other and provides a daily basis conducive to the development of ideas and projects. Everyone works to develop the center to get a more comfortable and ergonomic space every day.</span></b></div>

People are very happy to receive you and offer you hospitality easily. Their interest for strangers is intense, they are hugely interested in you, your country, your family and your work. Their curiosity is limitless, they can be interested in you all day. They are very receptive to our projects but my opinion is that the main problem lies in the notion of time. When you schedule meetings, visits and work with the community, often people are late or just not there because they wanted to do something else; you have to be flexible and adapt to this polychromic vision of time.</span></div>

The management at EduCARE India is totally horizontal, you are your own boss, the success of your projects depends on your commitment and your motivation to complete the objectives set. You have to take many initiatives, sometimes unsuccessful or without results, but you have to keep in mind that "success comes from failures".</span></div>

So I went to Makhu, a village near Harike, where I saw 3 different biogas plants. I gathered as much information as possible from the family about the structure, frequency of use and price. It is essential to carry out this work of intelligence and visualization, it is really very instructive.</span></div>

I had to understand the objectives of creating a biogas plant in Harike and especially the benefits for the community. I had to contact key people and partners in the realization of my project. I went to Chandigarh, a very pleasant city, in which I went to PEDA (Punjab Energy Development Agency) headquarters. It is a government agency subsidized by the MNRE (Ministry of New and Renewable Energies). I was able to get key contacts for my project. It is therefore essential to move and get in touch with people who are likely to help or to take part in the realization of the projects.</span></b></div>

I discover a lot about this people, their history and also about myself. From my point of view, the Indian people have a share of timidity and extravagance, two very opposite characteristics. When conducting practical work or presentations in front of an Indian group, they are shy and do not dare to interact and ask questions because they do not want to put themselves forward.

During this month I had the opportunity to take a few days to visit famous places. I went to Chandigarh for my project and I took the opportunity to take a weekend. So I visited the city designed by the Franco-Swiss architect Le Corbusier, visited the rock-garden and the rose-garden. I also took a weekend to New Delhi and Agra to visit the Red Fort and the famous Taj Mahal.</span></b></div>

We repaired the bamboo construction to dry the clothes outdoors, cleaned the material storage areas and create posters of information about the rules of the center as well as deliverables to be sent every week and month. We started to create a small garden in the center with trees, plants but also a small kitchen garden.

Around Harike, the landscape is extremely flat with fields of rice and maize as far as the eye can see. The Punjabis are very nice people with a sense of hospitality very developed, as can be seen in the Golden Temple for example. The reception is warm and people are very receptive and interested in the projects of EduCARE. However the Punjabi mentality is very surprising, it is focused on music and "thug life". That is to say, people like to be seen and recognized by wearing sophisticated accessories or sophisticated clothes, having a big and pretty car, an inordinate house, a bit the prototype of the American rapper catches the eye. To conclude, I love the Punjabis! My experience in Punjab is fantastic.</span></div>

I went through several feelings like satisfaction, joy, confidence but also frustration, disappointment, anxiety ... I learned to focus on less ambitious goals and I had to rethink my project management. I also realized that it is important to rely on local resources, they have a key role in the success of projects. However sometimes the premises can also be a waste of time, pretending to be able to help on the project and that I learned to my dependences.</span></div>

After reflection and discussion with PEDA (Punjab Energy Development Agency), there is no point in building a biogas plant with a digester of less than 4 m3. So I have to rethink the project and start on a new design. Mr B and I met with Mr Raminder Singh, a PEDA member in Amritsar, on Thursday, 3 August. This meeting was very constructive and will be my starting point to reformulate my biogas plant project.</span></div>

The arrival of Felix greatly contributed to the progress of the project. We planned the various stages of the project together. All in all I am rather pleased with the progress of the project despite some delays in planning. The community of Harike and the forestry department seem very cheerful and interested in our project, that satisfies me. About the vermi-composter, the process is on the way and I already have ideas for the development of vermi-composting in Harike and its surroundings which seem promising.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Kozuka Mincho Pro EL",serif;">The intensity things are lived
with here in Harike speed up the adaptation process, making one feel an
integrated part of the community in no time. There are still of course some
aspects of life here that are almost impossible to adapt to, but that, one can
learn to endure with a touch of patience. Take for example the thousand
mosquito bites at night (which are then replaced by intruding flies during the
day) - you will never adapt to these little guys, but you will gradually pay
less and less attention to them. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Kozuka Mincho Pro EL",serif;">Once the adaptation phase
comes to an end, the real Vikaas (meaning development in Hindi) work begins.
The novelty of being one of the only foreigners in a rural village wears out
pretty quickly and locals slowly start treating you like one of them – this
means losing the luxury of being treated like some prestigious princess from a
faraway land, but it also means gaining people’s trust and respect; vital if
you are attempting to reshape long-standing dynamics and mentalities. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Kozuka Mincho Pro EL",serif;">When I first arrived in
Harike, I knew I would be designing and implementing a project in what they
refer to as Women Empowerment. However, I was unsure as to how I, a women from
Europe with its culture of equality and opportunity, could ever be able to
empower women who knew the hardships of life more than I could possibly imagine
and who had become thick-skinned to battle through the daily oppressions they
faced. I had a vague idea of the various ways women were increasingly being
empowered around the world (micro-finance projects, language and IT skills,
practical skills development etc.) but I needed to find something that not only
the women in the community would benefit from, but that I would also feel
capable of carrying out. The first thing I had to decide was whether I would be
working with adult women or concentrating more on girls and teenagers.
Considering my stay in Harike was only three months I decided that whatever
project I did would have a longer lasting effect on the younger generation. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Kozuka Mincho Pro EL",serif;">I wanted to design a project that encompassed as many aspects of EduCARE’s holistic SHEEE* approach as possible. I was adamant to start an innovative project that would eventually be community-led, run by the very same participants. The moment I became aware of the lack of opportunities for girls to practice team sports outside of school, I didn’t have to think any further - I was going to start the first Girls Sports Club in Harike! Sports is the perfect vehicle towards empowerment since it fosters confidence, self-worth, team-work and endless skills to improve the quality of life of a woman. </span></div>

<br />
All the motivation, the dreams and aspirations were there and of course a bag filled with optimism (either genuine or forced). However, the less romantic side of me also knew that I had to be realistic and that it was very probable that my project would flop or not even take off. To avoid disappointment in this unpredictable field of development, I told myself that as long as I tried my best I would be happy with the project results, regardless of whether they were a success or not. I had already had two very positive GSC (Girls Sports Club) sessions at the local government school, but the success of the project was going to be judged the following week when the sessions were to be moved from government school to our Vikaas centre. The girls were not going to be forced to attend the sessions by teachers anymore and it was going to be entirely up to them whether they wanted to show up or not. Aware of the difficulty in gathering a specific group of people, in a specific place at a specific time I spent the whole preceding week reminding the girls where and when to attend the session, never forgetting to transmit enthusiasm and motivation.<br />
<br />
The day of that initial session at our ViKAAS centre arrived and I was bouncing with excitement and utter dread - what if no one showed up? What if my selling skills were so terrible that I hadn’t even managed to convince a group of girls to attend a weekly sports session? After spending two hours setting up the room and the workshop (we were going to discuss the importance of breathing correctly) I went outside the office and began pacing up and down, hoping that the afternoon would run smoothly. I checked my phone and felt a wave of sadness when I saw that it was 16:10 and no one had shown up. “It’s fine if no one shows up” I told myself “it’s all part of the experience” but deep down I was gutted. As soon as I gloomily turned around to go back into the office I heard my name being shouted from behind. I turned around and about 10 overly excited girls started running in my direction. I am not exaggerating when I say that my heart was filled with extreme happiness when I saw that they were all wearing sports gear and all had a bottle of water in their hand (just as I had told them). I began the session with some breathing exercises and stretching and still, girls continued to show up. Twenty minutes into the session and I was in charge of a class of 20 girls, my project was working after all. The session was extremely successful, so much so that the number of girls was increased to 35 the following week. This made me realise that once you’ve gained community interest and collaboration, the hard part of a project is done.<br />

Food security, the availability of food, and access to it,
has been a concern in arid and semi-arid regions throughout the history. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>The incidence and intensity of food insecurity have increased significantly in recent decades due to climate vagaries because of climate change. <br />
<br />

In order to improve food security in such
regions, desert agriculture and desert agro-forestry has been used as a
successful agricultural technique. Desert agro-forestry has been promoted
for growing of crops with the environmental support of trees in desert or arid
areas. Canals have been dug up to bring river waters to remote desert areas
for desert-agriculture use. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />

However, food security still remains an issue in some poor
households in the rural desert areas of Rajasthan. A weak welfare infrastructure, widespread insecurity, frequent droughts and limited livelihood opportunities keep many residents in conditions of poverty and vulnerability.<br />

Since 2016, we have initiated a project with a focus on
food security and nutrition for women and poor households. The approach includes awareness, food and nutrition awareness, training and resource support to start micro/small scale household food
gardens promoting cultivation of vegetables, herbs, food and fruit trees within
the households or in the backyards as a mechanism to respond to nutritious food
shortages. This project is expected to promote self-sustained initiatives by
the affected families at grass-root levels through good case projects.<br />

This project has varied components such as community research, education
and awareness on food and nutrition to create a change in people’s mindsets about
nutrition through continuing inter-personal and behavioural change communications.<br />
<br />
This project is integrated with other projects such as health,
women empowerment, micro-finance, grey-water sanitation, sustainable
agriculture and organic farming, etc.</div>

As per the 1996 World Food Summit, food security exists when
all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to sufficient, safe
and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an
active and healthy life. And. food insecurity, on the other hand, is a
situation of limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate and
safe foods or limited or uncertain ability to acquire acceptable foods in
socially acceptable ways.<br />

Food security incorporates a measure of resilience to
future disruption or unavailability of critical food supply due to various risk
factors including droughts, supply disruptions, fuel shortages, economic
instability, and wars.</div>

The theme for 2017 was set up as ‘Connecting People to Nature'. This theme highlighted the importance of clean environment to humanity, and encouraged people to appreciate those
benefits “first-hand,” including the “beauty and diversity of nature that surrounds and sustains us.”<br />
<br />
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-51BtYR1oeUE/WUH9FmvehAI/AAAAAAAAD40/AYYjwpTg6_wCHY3rqiRC2v3GpPznuZ4GACLcBGAs/s1600/environment-day-2017-tree-plantation-gajner-nursery-vikaas-team-educare-india.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="405" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-51BtYR1oeUE/WUH9FmvehAI/AAAAAAAAD40/AYYjwpTg6_wCHY3rqiRC2v3GpPznuZ4GACLcBGAs/s200/environment-day-2017-tree-plantation-gajner-nursery-vikaas-team-educare-india.jpg" width="112" /></a>It gives more reason to every individual to step out visit a park, a mountain, ocean, river or forest; simply experience nature around you. The day seeks to raise awareness globally for people to preserve and enhance the environment.<br />
<br />
Billions of rural people around the world spend every working day ‘connected to nature’ and appreciate full well their dependence on natural water supplies and how nature provides their livelihoods in the form of fertile soil. They are among the first to suffer when ecosystems are threatened, whether by pollution, climate change or over-exploitation. <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
As I climbed onto my first general bus in Delhi, I looked around anxiously as sweat dripped from every inch of my body and the adrenaline of being in the midst of chaos was the only thing keeping me from collapsing of exhaustion. It had been a twenty-three hour journey from San Francisco to Delhi, and I had just spent another eight hours in a bus station waiting for my bus to Dharamsala, where I was headed for induction. Once on the bus, it was another hot and grueling twelve hour trip pressed up against a metal pole and pushed around by an overflowing sea of people, all shouting and staring at me as if I was an alien. It was a rough first few days, but at least I knew from then on things could only get better. And I was right, for the most part.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This was my first time in a non-Western country, so the culture shock I faced was quite taxing. After you get past the intense heat and smells, constant honking, being bombarded by taxi drivers and being scammed out of money, you begin to notice other idiosyncrasies of the Indian culture, some of which I came to love. The sheer amount of people in one place was overwhelming, but the beautiful bright saris, smiling faces and friendly dispositions made being there worth it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My initial culture shock never completely wore off during my time in India, especially as I kept experiencing new things that made me angry or upset. Starved dogs ran awry in the streets looking bruised and beaten, and it was a defeating feeling to know I couldn't do anything to help them. Cows, who are considered “holy” in India, trudged around in the street and appeared just as sickly. Piles of burning trash blanketed the ground for miles and filled my lungs with dust; and this was just the beginning.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I came into my internship unsure of what to expect— just like everyone, which I soon found out when I arrived. But adjusting to this new world became much easier as I started to meet all the positive and motivated people around me from all over the world. My two and a half month internship took place in Harike, Punjab and in Rait, Himachal Pradesh, so I was lucky to experience two different locations in India— both rural and poverty stricken, but diverse in their own ways.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In Harike, what surprised me the most was the absence of women outside in the village. At least for the short time I was there, I never once saw a woman walking in the street, which I soon learned was deliberate since most women are expected to never leave the house. When I transferred to the Rait center, this issue was not as prevalent and the village seemed slightly more progressive, but inequalities in the community were evident right outside our intern house. On one side of the road was a decently sized home with a family who owned healthy pets and grew their own vegetables in their backyard; across the path, homes were barely held together by metal, straw or wood with no signs of comfort in sight.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Living in a home-stay, working and interacting with the community is much different than traveling around India and seeing their world from the “outside.” Even through our challenges and difficulties, it was invaluable to experience the true Indian culture and spend time with the locals, especially in rural and impoverished areas: the reality that makes up the majority of India.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The most eye-opening part of my project was engaging with the women in the community and listening to their stories and daily struggles. It changed my perspective on everything, and made the things I complain about in my daily life seem pretty laughable. As well as spending time with the women and getting to learn about the Indian health care system firsthand, the best part of this internship were my peer interns who played such a big role in my life at the center. I learned so much from all of them, and they still serve as my reminders of all the good people in this world. My internship with EduCARE India was foremost a learning experience and is one which I will never regret going through. Although my disappointment at the end was that I did not accomplish what I wanted, I know now that I gained a sense of knowledge I couldn’t have elsewhere, especially back in the states. My time here has also solidified my thoughts about pursuing a job as a travel nurse. For me to be able to provide a ray of light for people surviving in desperate conditions, even for a moment, is what I hope to do someday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While there were parts of India that I saw as a complete mess, I came to learn that much of it was a kind of organized chaos; one that worked for people, and my initial shock turned into more of a sense of wonderment by the end of my stay. It may be different than the standards I have at home, but that does not always mean it’s wrong— just different. Some of my favorite moments in India were seeing children’s faces beaming with joy and curiosity, and experiencing the sincere kindness of families who would offer us food or chai even if they barely had enough for themselves. Some of the happiest people I met were some of the least materially well-off.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Stepping out of my comfort zone opened my world, and the people I met showed me that life is not about living in luxury. Life is about being happy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Namaste!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It’s quite hard to summarize a travel experience; so how complex it is to make the point about an internship in India. Finding the right words to express such a rich and multifaceted adventure is complicated; it’s hard to talk about it but there is also so much to say.The first time I asked myself what I’ve learned from my experience in India was in a cab, coming back from a fourth or fifth visit at the hospital after an ankle injury. That day, I questioned my experience there because things turned out to be not as I expected them they would be, and I had taken the decision to go back to my country before the end of my internship, for a medical purpose. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BuUu_sq81_Y/WChIC0gX2hI/AAAAAAAAD3Y/G4OT8vfehnMXLTA6PDVGZ6bAwPf219wBwCLcB/s1600/image002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BuUu_sq81_Y/WChIC0gX2hI/AAAAAAAAD3Y/G4OT8vfehnMXLTA6PDVGZ6bAwPf219wBwCLcB/s400/image002.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s very common to hear warnings and recommendations before traveling, such as how mentally and physically prepared for a cultural shock you have to be. If you travel for a professional purpose, you are often told that you have to be very patient and flexible, as well as open-minded. So after hearing that for a while, you think you’ve got enough and that you detain all the tools needed to succeed your journey, and then it starts. With EduCARE India, you have an Induction; you begin your insertion in your new environment; you get involved with the community; you think about some goals and objectives you want to achieve… You take a step back to analyse the situation and create a project related to the needs of the local population and the outcomes you want to attain… </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And then, you realize how big are certain barriers that keep you from doing your project the way you want to do it. You are destabilized and it’s sometimes hard to apply what you’ve been told: to adapt yourself to every situation. In my case, to be a Project Manager for Women Empowerment in Gajner was a huge opportunity to learn to work on the field and to acquire the skills related to the project management and the social development. It pushed myself to find the tools and the motivation to pursue my project even if the conditions didn’t help, such as the extreme heat, the language barrier and the lack of resources. I thought a few times that it was difficult to work with those conditions, and then other inconvenience happened, and everything became more complicated. In the most difficult moments, the professional pressure pushed myself to continue my work and find some alternative ways to conduct my project, as well as the pressure I myself put on my shoulders. I didn’t want to fail that professional and personal quest. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VI5BkRlpVHA/WChIC93SCGI/AAAAAAAAD3c/GxcfgG7B8owav7Pq9HsK1Q9z7Xo00PX6wCEw/s1600/laurencephoto.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VI5BkRlpVHA/WChIC93SCGI/AAAAAAAAD3c/GxcfgG7B8owav7Pq9HsK1Q9z7Xo00PX6wCEw/s400/laurencephoto.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the critical moment I questioned my experience, I realized the outcomes of my internship. I truly understood that you can’t control everything, and failure brings lessons. From there,you learn how to improve yourself. And fortunately, EduCARE India allows you to make some mistakes and encourages you to move forward and think about yourself. This experience has been amazing for me because it brought me a lot on both the professional and personal sides. An internship with this NGO not only gives you the chance to work on the field with a local approach and to immerge into the culture, but also to learn more about yourself. You are not going to change the whole world with your work there and you might be sometimes discouraged and overwhelmed, but you are going to make some steps and participate for a bigger change. And you should do it for yourself; it might totally change your vision, and self-development is important to lead to a better world, in my opinion.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It took me some time to realize how important are the benefits I got from this experience. I was first not able to express them with words; I just had this feeling of emptyness and plenitude, as well as weakness and strength. I was prepared for India and didn’t really have a cultural shock. But things out of my control happened, and I felt more vulnerable than ever, without passport, identification cards, money, and with a cast and crutches. It’s at that moment that I really understood the meaning of being patient and flexible. Having to deal with that many issues while having to work at the same time was hard. But at that moment I also felt thatI was stronger than ever, because I experienced that everything depends on your mindset and that you have the control of your mind. You are the only one who can decide for yourself and your experience thus depends on you. And you can work on your self-development to improve your work.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s normal that such a multidimensional experience generates mixed feelings and that some things get out of your control. But it is what makes an experience more enriching and thrilling, and pushes yourself to grow and evolve. So for future interns I would say; you’ll become more independent, stronger and fearless. But at the same time just “go with the flow”, learn to let things go, to take things easy, to be vulnerable, to recognize your fears and weaknesses, to accept help… It doesn’t make you weaker; it helps you to open yourself and gain another perspective. Let down your mental and physical barriers. You will achieve a lot this way, and you might achieve more than you notice, professionally and personally speaking.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There is always two sides when we are doing an internship for EduCARE India. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The two sides when you are a project manager or project coordinator, where outside the intern’s house we behave (or we try) like locals. As a woman I cover myself, no smoking or drinking allowed of course, we put our bigger smile in our face and carry on the workshops, meeting or whatever we have to do. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And then is the other side, our little oasis in the middle of India, our houses, where we can wear crop tops, shorts, treat our fellow male interns as equals and there is (almost never) language barrier. But even inside the house there are two sides, the professional and the personal one. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We live and work together and usually in the same place, some of the centres have an office and can separate those two lives but when that doesn’t happen the two sides usually merge and confront each other. We have to be able to have a serious meeting over the same table we will eat later, play cards or relax. We have to be able to keep focus and active while we work from our beds and houses. We have to be able to challenge our fellow interns and explain our ideas or why we think that theirs are wrong without becoming personal. We have to be able to take critics from the same person we will cook later with. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Personally I love the chance to work in pyjamas but for some people the ability of separate professional and personal life is not that easy. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We also have the two sides when we travel. When we are out of our villages we are tourists but we already feel ourselves at home in India. You feel like a local, not freaking out anymore by the bumpy buses, lack of privacy, toilets standards in the stations or cheap guest houses, you know what are the prices and you know how to bargain, you know how to deal with trains, buses and any other transport in India but...but still you are not a local, your Hindi is below “tora tora” (little, little) and your face shows you are from the West so you are not treated as a local. Some rickshaw’s driver will want to charge you more, the fruit seller will try to charge you more, the stares remain and no matter how much you cover yourself you feel the attention. Also there are good things to this; Indians are usually extremely nice and helpful and they will try to make your stay and experience in India as best as they can, you will be offered the best food, drinks, blessings and usually having the best treatment as guests.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">And then we have the two sides of any experience, while my experience in EduCARE India has been beyond good and I have learned an endless list of things and skills there is always a darker side in any experience. I have been a really positive person all my life and I was not thinking about being any different in India but sometimes I have been overwhelmed by the situations around me. The delays, the heat, the monsoon, the animals, the bugs, the internet, water and electricity cuts, the few Indian or tourists that tried to take advantage of us in many different senses, the lack of commitment of some interns, the lack of response in certain cases from the community, the wanting of some privacy or some time alone, the small things that bring you comfort and that are impossible to find here... Those things some days and just some days make you see things in darker colours that they actually are (and I could continue but as I said positivity is a must for me). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But if you focus in the other side like, the extremely and unbelievable beauty of India, the hospitality of its families, the amazing sleeper beds in buses and trains, the peer-to peer learning from other interns and staff of the NGO, the possibility of being your own boss, the smiles of the children, the feeling of the wind while you are in a rickshaw, the happiness when you meet again other interns from other centres, the successful projects, the laughs and nice nights around candles because electricity was not working (but everything is more poetic with a candle right?), the walks to the public taps for getting some water that lead to nice conversation with the neighbours and women, the amazing trips, the things you thought would never see (like me in Pushkar, I saw a cow with a chicken leg in her back!!), all the religions, culture, customs, landscapes present in India that are completely unique, and the list could continue for thousands of words...etc. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I have learnt to not be selfish here, to be conscious with what I advocate for and what I do, to behave ethically and to take in account the environment. I learnt what is to be a woman in a country where being a woman is a dangerous thing and I met some very strong women that are making the change in this country happen. I learnt how to deal with a different range of people, I met compulsive complainers here seeing everything as problems and not challenges but I also met fighters who will do their best and work hard to achieve what they want to. I learnt how to put away my ego and listen to the criticism of others about my work and the most important to learnt from it! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As Communications Coordinator I have been working in front of my computer or having meetings with other fellow interns mostly of the time but I also tried to help in some projects of the centres so I could witness the grass-root action and be a part of it. I hope that communications is consider with the importance that it has in any organization and that is a respected field from now on in EduCARE India. When you don’t communicate, when you don’t participate and contribute in an organization you are taking a big step towards failure. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For working in EduCARE India, we have to leave behind our preconceptions, our western minds are so conditioned that we forget that our way of living is not the only one and for sure not the best in many aspects. Ethnocentrism is not allowed if you come here. Open your mind, go with the flow, make an effort in understanding what and why are certain things happening around you. It is hard to leave behind the pre-conception that “the way we do it” is more acceptable because this way is only valid where we come from. Cultural sensitivity has to be present and patronizing the communities around you is not an option neither, here life has been different for thousands of years and while we are working towards the global needs through local action it is important to understand that the definition we have in our mind of some words it not the same and can`t be the same in India. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">All this time in India has been a gift, it helped me grow and change to a better myself. I could never forget all the moments I lived during this 7 months and I am really curious in seeing what EduCARE India is bringing on during the next months and years. I am very thankful for my internship with EduCARE India, all the learning that it brought to me and discover of a new world and a new way of seeing myself within that world.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Considering all the natural risks the communities we work with face (earthquakes – the fault line of the Dharamsala region passing through Naddi and McLeod Ganj, floods, landslides…), it is coherent for an organization likeEduCAREto have a Disaster Management & Emergency Planning Project to reduce the vulnerability of the population to such hazards.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">To achieve this goal, my project consists in providing the communities with cognitive and technical tools in order to lower the effects of hazards.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">More exactly, I am running workshops to raise awareness about disasters among the youngest through the school and the Girls Club. I am also setting up a training session for the adults in partnership with a Training and Capacity building coordinator from the United Nations Development Programme, also consultant to theDistrict Disaster Management Authority, for them to receive first-hand information about hazards and get advice on mitigation strategies they can easily implement.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The other side of the project is to build a community action plan so people can respond appropriately and efficiently in case of the occurrence of a disaster. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is probably one of the most challenging aspects of my project since it implies for us to be the link between the authorities in charge of the disaster management and the communities. Indeed, if the programme theoretically exists at the rural level, although the population is not aware of it, it is far from being functional. Furthermore, it has proven difficult to understand how the Indian administration operates and especiallyto identify the people in charge.The ultimate goal would be to have a village level incident response team that would be able to react automatically.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Also the monsoon doesn’t make our lives easier! But at the end of the day, the challenging environment we live in makes the job even more interesting!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Here we are, close to the end of this internship. It is hard to describe in words what it means to leave a place that has given me so much and has made more clear who I am and where I want to go. Many people intentionally come to India to discover their inner self in the land of diversity and contrasts. They train through yoga and meditation in order to find their path in life. Me, I came to India primarily for my CV and a genuine work interest. It turns out, it did not solely made me grow professionally, but personally also and I would say most importantly. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I must admit the first weeks in this foreign place had not been easy. Leaving behind familiar faces and places for the unknown and not knowing how long you will be away kept me awake at night. The pressure of a remunerated job, a life stability and eventually the generation of a family are social expectations that all societies put on us. And I am not getting any younger through the years flying by…The social pressure trap had caught me unexpectedly! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
NGO work, particularly at these levels and settings, are not regarded as serious positions most of the time. Many people I know would tell me ‘You have satisfied a desire, you visited an exotic country, worked/volunteered a little, but now it is time to get back on track and work seriously’. It is indeed the truth that the developmental sector has much to offer, but in term of salary lags still behind other fields. However, and personally in my case, it was not at all what people say or perceive of it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In these past 6/7 months I have worked more than 8 hours per day on average, I have undertaken many different roles, learnt a lot (more that I could possible expect and wish for) and stressed out much (as in all jobs, regardless of the field). I still vividly remember the major power crisis of Gajner, one day before the Coordinator Retreat, when most of the computers fried due to a power surge. Or the rushes at 7 in the morning to welcome the new interns, in the rain and still wearing a pijama. I have put 100% of my effort and at times more in the job and I do not see it as less valuable of any other position.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In fact, the minimal supervision from the beginning and the flexibility of working in a diverse setting where rules are alien to you, could be considered a hurdle as much challenging as any possible corporate responsibility.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Perhaps in this typology of work we do not see immediate results. Perhaps the systems we put in place are to be altered constantly as they are to be adapted to ever-shifting conditions. Perhaps the failures and setbacks are more often than successes. However, this does not diminish the importance of the job and the dedication that each person, be a volunteer, intern or employee put into place.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Indian transport has a reputation for being a bit wild and having traveled around the country before, I was ready for anything. My weekend vacations have involved eventful travels, sometimes frustrating, sometimes amusing and sometimes downright scary! So I’m going to summarize some of the craziest things that have happened to me so far while using public transport in India…..</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
One of the first weekend trips that I took was to Amritsar to meet a friend from university. I took an overnight bus and slept in a small compartment attached to the wall, much like a display cabinet, it even had a sliding glass door. In the middle of the night I was woken up by angry shouts. Looking out the window I could see a crowd of furious men screaming at the bus driver Things escalated quickly and before the long they were throwing bricks at the driver who quickly retreated into the bus. They then started pelting the bus with stones and bricks, one of which smashed a window! I was pretty confused as to what was going on but after a conversation with another passenger I learned that there had been an accident and that the bus had hit someone. I’m still not sure of the details, I only hope that it was a vehicle rather than a pedestrian and that no-one was badly injured. It just made me sad to think about the impunity in India and the fact that a bus could have knocked someone over and just driven away from the scene. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">On a slightly lighter note, my journey back from induction, while long and boring, was broken up by a few amusing incidents. Firstly, the sheer ridiculousness, of a bus having to swerve to the opposite side of the road to make way for two cows having sex made me laugh. Cows can really get away with anything here. Secondly, after the bus driver took a wrong turning he proceeded to drive full pelt down the motorway in the direction of oncoming traffic! And no one in the bus seemed at all fazed! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Finally, what should have been a perfectly ride home from the neighboring town Suratgarh turned into something entirely different. This was definitely one of the more frustrating rides that we took. After an afternoon shopping for groceries and materials for our projects we decided to try and catch a bus rather than a rickshaw home as the bus is so much cheaper. A bus was beginning to leave the station and I shouted to the ticket man to ask him if it was going to Rangmahal, which he confirmed, so we ran to the departing bus and jumped on just as it was taking off. The problem is there are two Rangmahals close to Suratgarh…. It seemed like the bus was taking a strange route out of the town so I asked the passengers if we were going to Rangmahal-Jogi (our Rangmahal) or Rangmahal and everyone confirmed that we were going to the right place. However, we took off in the wrong direction! Me and Mae were getting really confused by this point and a bit nervous as we continued down the motorway, getting further and further away from our village! </span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">So I kept shouting “RANGMAHAL JOGI??” and everyone kept responding “YES!” So I told myself that maybe they were just taking a strange route. They weren’t. Finally, we got kicked off the bus at the other Rangmahal. Even at this point people were telling us that we were at the right place, even though it clearly wasn’t!!! A few people who finally understood what we were talking about told us that we would have to catch a ride back to Suratgarh and get the correct bus home from there. By this time we were so fed up that we didn’t bother trying to save any more money and agreed on a rickshaw. ;)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">So thanks Indian transport! You’ve made the travels to my destinations become a very noteworthy part of my vacations!</span></span></div>

<![endif]--><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Before I could realize, I was done with my first year of college. It seemed the year went very fast. Travelling, studying, socializing, that’s all did.I got a nice two months break after my first year. Many of my friends were making plans, some planning to intern. I found the idea meaningless, as just after completion of first year, there is hardly anything learned to apply! I wanted to do something good before the start of my second year. Something which will make me satisfied, I didn’t wanted my summer break to go waste. </span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I decided to volunteer for an NGO. As I belong to Ladakh, so I wanted to intern there. I had no ideas of nearby NGO’s. I started researching and looking over the internet. Then I contacted EduCare. I called them initially to know whether they were looking for interns. Surprisingly, I got positive response and was selected as an intern for the project to be held in Ladakh. We started exploring the villages from 21st of June, 2016. We ended up visiting seven different villages and finally decided CHANGA as the best location for the center. </span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">On the first day, I meet with Yangkyi who was an intern as well. We went to Leh to discuss our plans for our project. We bought a </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">map of Ladakh and spotted few villages to explore and we also made a schedule to be followed in the next following days. </span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Both of us decided to meet at ChoglamsarZampa and it was difficult to get transportation because there are no government buses which goes to these villages. This was the situation which was bit problematic throughout our journey. </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Our first destination was Thiksay which is quite big and they also have a big monastery. We further moved on to Rambirpur which is 10 to 15 minutes away from Thiksay by taxi. In the following days we explored Rambirpur, Nang, Stakna, Kharu and Changa. </span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">We ended our research of finding the village for the center on 1st July, 2016. While exploring all the villages, we felt that the villages were self sufficient because almost all the families grew their own vegetables and crops. On top of that they had AmaTsokspa which is a Women Association operating in most Ladakhi Communities. These associations were doing there small business of micro finance project to earn extra income. </span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">When we went to these villages, we met Lambadar which is like head of the village and members of AmaTsokspa. But in Changa they don’t have any Women Association because few years ago they had a disagreement among themselves due to funds which were received from outside. So the group was dissolved. Another thing we felt why Changa was a good location because of its proximity to Kharu Market and in that way we thought that we could work on the Waste Management issues in Kharu. </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">We realized that Kharu Market was a good location but we were conflicted because the accommodation was expensive but later when we explored Changa because it was near to Kharu Market, we learnt that it is equally a good location because of the reasons mentioned earlier. </span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">We really thought that we could do a lot in the village by forming a small Women Association which involves women in micro finance project so that women in the family is dependent. </span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Everyone here collects the waste and dump it or burn it. So this is one of the areas which needs a lot of attention because we felt that the villagers were not conscious about the environment destruction that is causing. In terms of Health facilities this village only has a small medical centre which is runned by the nurses and the nearest hospital is in Thiksay which is 15 kilometres away from the village and if something gets severe they go to SNM Hospital in Leh which is 35 kilometres away. </span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">So as an organization we were not sure what we could do in terms of health facilities or medical facilities but this was the issue that needed a lot of attention. </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Waste Management is an issue all over Ladakh which needs to be looked after. But hopefully we could begin from Changa and Kharu Market and reach further. </span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I believe that community involvement is not an option but a necessity. Every one generates waste. That’s understandable. But we can change the amount, the kind and the fate of the waste that you generate by taking. </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">After exploring the villages, I met Mr. B.S Bhullar and all the other interns. We had a small meeting where Mr. B told us about the organization, how it works and about our tasks. </span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Our main agenda was Waste Management where we could aware people and the community about the harmful effects which it causes and how it degrades the environment. We also worked upon Women Empowerment which is a burning issue all over the world. We wanted to create an environment for women where they can make decisions of their own for their personal benefits as well as for the society. </span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">We found a small happy family in the village where we decided to stay. We also wanted to promote home stays in the village from which the women could earn and not be dependent on others. They were five members in the family which includes father who is a carpenter and had a shop in Kharu Market, mother who was working sometimes in the bank and looks after farming and cattles, the older son who is studying in 6th grade in LamdonSchool at Sakti, the younger son who was a monk in Hemis Monastery and the youngest daughter who goes to play school in Changa. We tried our best to interact with the family so that we could understand them better and so that they could be comfortable with us. </span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">At first we told the family about our organization and our agenda. What we want to do for the betterment of village. Then we started exploring and mapping the village so that we could deeply understand everybody’sproblem. </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">There was a Lambardar which is like the head of the village or the panchayat who looks after the village and takes all the decisions. But there was no AmaTskospai or Women Association, unlike other villages. </span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">So we worked on this idea of making a Women Association where all the interested women could work together for a common goal. The main purpose of forming this group was that the women become self-sufficient, independent and save some money. We started planning a small business for them like knitting socks, caps, gloves by providing them the material and paying them the labour charge by selling it outside. So we were gathering all the interested women for this. </span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">While exploring the village, when we asked the villagers about their savings. Most of them said that they don’t save and their daughters don’t have bank accounts which was quite surprising for me. So we focused on this issue and told every possible family in the village about the scheme and bank accounts. We told them that they should start saving money which would help them in a long run for their health issues and in emergencies. We also told them that they should also open bank accounts for their daughters so that it could help them in their education and marriage. </span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">About the Waste Management we told them about how to manage waste from its inception to its final disposal. We told them not to burn the wastes but collect them, segregate the waste and dump it. We taught them to keep their environment clean for the goodness of their health. </span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I was left with with few days since my college was going to open. So during those two three days we mapped the village and did a survey of the village. We came to know about their occupation, problems, hobbies, passion, aspirations, etc. We covered almost all the half of the village including the school and the medical centre. </span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">My internship got over on 20th July, 2016. I wished I could stay there for some more time so that I could be a part of their happiness. My volunteering at EduCare taught me many things like. </span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">To see person smile and to know you contribute something for that smile gives ultimate joy and internal satisfaction. </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Not everything is done to get returns, social work and charity has a value and many other things. </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I cherish each and every moment spent with the villagers. My personal </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">advice to each and friend of mine is to experience the joy of giving.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Educare was not my first experience in India. I had the chance to spend 7 wonderful months in this country before, and I have been so marked by this culture and these people that I started looking for a way to be back as soon as possible even before leaving. One of my friends, who was already a fellow for Educare told me that the organization was always looking for new volunteers, and especially it was looking for someone to be in charge of PR and Marketing. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When I get the approval for the position, it was such a relief. I knew that I was leaving India being sure to come back and even if the things were more complicated to get my visa and it took a long time, noting could stopped me.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So I arrived in Naddi and fully enjoyed my stay with the Com Team. Spending my weeks working for the organization and my weekends enjoying my favorite place in India. Thanks to the NGO, I got the opportunity to experience a total freedom in my work, which is more than rare for a student. It makes me want to give my best to achieve the objectives in collaboration with HR, other team members or even alone.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But working in India does not only have positive aspects. This country definitely teaches to have patience and resignation. Oneself has to admit that the things can’t always be controlled and to let everything go sometimes. There is always obstacles, delays that sometimes pop up when working on a project, and oneself just has to deal with it. It improves your ability to face any issue, your sense of humor and teaches you to trust in a better tomorrow.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But it’s so worth it … I never found a country in the world where I feel at home like this one. Never met people that makes me feel better than these ones. Never been afraid of living in a place as much as this one. And I promised myself to do what it takes to come back as I did since I’m here …</span><br /><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Sometimes you just can’t explain why, but you know that something’s made for you. And that’s what happened pretty fast when I reached these mountains. There’s something mystical in the atmosphere that instantly calms you down and makes you feel like you belong to this place. Something that makes you feel like a better version of you, a soother one. And even if people keep in mind that India is a patriarchal nation, I never felt as free to be myself than here. It’s not about wearing short skirts or loose t-shirts, it’s about meeting people who look through your eyes to touch your soul and respect your heart. There is a strong belief here that what truly matters is to have a beautiful heart and soul. And for our own good, we should try to act more often like this in Europe.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Anyway, India was like a “lifesaver” for me. A place where I can truly feel myself, no matter if I am alone or surrounded by people, a little peace in a large world in war. I spent almost one year here, and I know I am changed forever. Maybe I will find another place where I feel this good while traveling. But I know that I’ll need to come back here. I have the opportunity to go directly to India after my studies and I honestly can’t think to another plan. Let’s see where the future leads me and what will be the next steps of my life…</span><br /><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Namaste India.</span></span></div>

</xml><![endif]--><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Prior to my arrival in Delhi, I hadn’t done too much reading about what it was life to spend a significant amount of time anywhere in India, especially Punjab. I had gone over EduCare’s pre-arrival instructions and manuals, but wanted to surprise myself in terms of what the experience would be like, and what I would ultimately receive from the time I would spend here. Now, as my internship is coming to an end here in Harike, I can look back on the experience and reflect on what I accomplished, what I was unable to accomplish, and ultimately how I view the experience as a whole. </span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As I sit here typing, I am realizing that it is difficult to put an experience like this into words because living here is all about the smells, sights, and interactions with locals, travelers, and animals; all of which have been so distinctly different from anything I had experienced before. Every intern comes to EduCare with different expectations and ultimately is greeted by a different experience as a result, but I do believe that the internship is what you make of it. For me, the experience became all about the local Harike community members with whom the team engaged on a daily basis for their projects, Hindi lessons at the government school, etc. Finding ways to reciprocate the kindness that was shown to us in the face of strong language barriers and cultural differences was difficult, yet the openness and willingness to allow us into their daily lives and routines was heart-warming as well as astounding. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I was fortunate enough to work with a team of thoughtful, intelligent, and hard-working individuals at the Harike center, who adopted a more team-centered approach to the projects instead of the traditional division of roles based on personal goals, which allowed for the successful facilitation of projects such as a the reusable scrap-fabric bags project, which combined aspects of microfinance, SWASH, and women’s empowerment. </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For me, this project became the center of my attention while at the center, and allowed SWASH, microfinance, and women’s empowerment interns to meet and interact with a number of families in the community in a combined fashion that helped cement working and trusting relationships between the center and the community in ways I had not thought possible during my first month in Harike. That is not to say that the project did not face adversity, as the comings and goings of interns, coupled with the difficulties involving communication that often ended in smiles, shoulder shrugs, and awkward laughter undoubtedly tested our team. What living in Harike allowed me to do was take me out of my comfort zone and force me to act on tasks I might not have previously acted upon had I stayed in the states, such as waking up in the morning and walking to a local family’s house, not knowing if they actually wanted me within the presence of their home, while understanding that I would be unable to speak with them about such an issue as my Punjabi language capabilities were nonexistent. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-43imMXdlYn4/V_E08ZrvNRI/AAAAAAAADhw/oY_P1nLWoBgRKEfGtlt-Do7mfPBpc4gvwCEw/s1600/image003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-43imMXdlYn4/V_E08ZrvNRI/AAAAAAAADhw/oY_P1nLWoBgRKEfGtlt-Do7mfPBpc4gvwCEw/s400/image003.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These barriers pushed me to become a problem-solver, organizing Hindi lessons with the Hindi teacher at the public school in order to help the team potentially communicate at a basic level, and thereby strengthening ties with the local schools where the team would present workshops on various topics, including waste management and domestic violence. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">10 days from leaving India and I can now communicate semi-effectively with community members in Hindi (although many only speak Punjabi), something I never would have expected to be able to do before arriving in this country. What I will miss most, in addition to all the Paneers and fried street food of course, will not only be individuals, both in the organization and in the community, but the daily lessons I received on cultures that at first seemed so foreign to me, but now have become reminders of how fortunate I have been to experience life in the state of Punjab. </span></span></div>
<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Moreover, what the experience has also given me is the knowledge that issues such as widespread trash littering the streets and waterways, and domestic violence in the home may be more apparent in this country, but that does not mean they do not exist in the places I come from. In this regard it falls on me to take responsibility for my waste management and my actions towards other human beings and the natural environment, because although my country may be better at disguising the presence of these problems, they ultimately still exist. Working in India has simply reminded me of this, and my responsibilities as a global citizen of this planet, not just one or two countries. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So for this experience, I am thankful.</span></span><br />
