Review for Shining Light Community Development Organization, Gilgit, , Pakistan
I volunteered for a month in Summer 2009 with this organization. I did photography work to be used for promotional materials and assisted in some village visits/making contacts. The organization provided good orientation before hand, fostered a positive environment during assignments, and helped me reflect/debrief my experience. The local and foreign staff of this organization have a real heart for the people they seek to serve; their commitment to provide quality education is evidenced by their hard work, flexibility, and willingness to try new ideas. Also, my observation was that SLCDO has an excellent relationship and reputation in the community. They are more relational in their ethos than administrative. I highly recommend this organization and will be pleased if I have the chance to volunteer with them again.

relatively diverse, quite outgoing, very selfless people.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
partner with a lot of desperately poor rural schools to provide materials and quality teachers.
