My Nonprofit Reviews

I have been an Asha volunteer since I came to US for my graduate studies in Dec 2006. Asha is basically a secular, volunteer-driven, non-hierarchical and bottom-up organization. This is truly a trend-setting organization in this regard and defies principles of top-bottom, hierarchical structures. It has been around for close to 19 years now and has only grown leaps and bounds. I have personally visited an Asha project and seen the difference Asha is making to the lives of children and the community in general. As resonated by the trust chairman of the project I visited, " We dont want all our kids to be doctors and engineers. We want to be able to sustain themselves and their families when they grow up." Asha believes in social justice and we are certainly moving in the right direction, even if its small steps at a time. Since, we are volunteer-driven, the volunteer decides how much time and how he/she wants to contribute to the cause and hence this gives you great flexibility. Being a part of Asha has definitely given me a new meaning to my life. Thanks to the volunteers of Asha for that.
