Caroline Enright's account of her time at the Manav Sadhna Centre in Ahnedabad

Caroline Enright, a graduate in International Studies, spent 7 weeks volunteering with the Manav Sadhna Centre in Ahnedabad. This is an account of her time there:

The Manav Sadhna centre is fantastic and they do phenomenal work with women and children in the areas of education, empowerment, health, craft. I wrote a proposal for funding for the building of a new workshop for the women's craft part of the NGO which will hopefully be accepted soon...I got to use the qualifications I learned through my degree and it was good having my own projects to work on. I am also selling Manav Sadhna products through Amnesty in Ireland, they're really happy about this in the NGO as it means they can include more kids and women in their programes through greater demand for products...
