Hi I am Edyta from Warsaw Poland.
I came to India on a personal trip in December 2014. While moving around in India for about two months I wanted to give back to this wonderful country.
I chose to volunteer with Active Internationals at their project in Pushkar.
It was a great experience to live in the holy little town, which on one side is hills and the other side is desert. Such a beautiful place. I was living very close to a temple and could observe pilgrim coming there everyday. Every evening I used to go to the sun-set point by the lake.
My volunteering experience was also great. I was involved with two projects in a day. In the morning I was teaching at a girls school where I was in-charge of teaching them math.
In the evening project I was involved with a tribal community and was working in the women empowerment project.
It was an overwhelming experience and I am completely changed. My initial stay in India before the volunteering allowed me to see prominent places in India, but the volunteering done for a month, changed my perspective about the country.
It is a great place to visit.
I am thankful to Active for such a wonderful experience.
God Bless You!
