Review for Asha for Education, Los Angeles, CA, USA
I have been a volunteer with Asha for Education for more than 3 years. I have run a marathon, organized fundraisers, reviewed projects, conducted site visits and have been involved in most activities at the Urbana-Champaign chapter. I am continuously amazed at how a completely volunteer-driven organization can channel the efforts of concerned folks to take constructive steps towards providing education to kids in Inda. As crazy as it may sound, the completely non-hierarchical and democratic structure actually works well and it gives volunteers a hands-on experience in both fundraising and in deciding how best to spend the money. However, this inclusive approach comes at the cost of incurring delays when the process is held up by debates and discussions - some useful and some not so much.
