Review for Asha for Education, Los Angeles, CA, USA
I have been a volunteer for Asha for the past 2 years. What I love about this organization is the spirit of the volunteers. Asha is a 100% volunteer driven organization. Given that the Seattle chapter alone manages around 1 million dollars, one can only imaging the scale of things handled by these volunteers while still keeping their day jobs. It is like everyone is tied by a common thread - a desire to make a difference in someone else's life. I am a project steward for one of the projects and it is immensely satisfying when I receive a mail from our project partners back in India saying that they money that we helped raise, was used for building a shed for children to play, or to setup new computers or to create new learning aids. Being a part of Asha has taught me a lot of things - leadership, spirit of volunteerism, thinking outside the box but above all humility. An appreciation for the life that I have and an understanding of the situation prevailing in my country.
