All of my life I have been interested in two things: traveling and helping people. After graduating from Miami University this past May, I decided that I wanted to take the next year off and go on a wild adventure. I have always been interested in India; I love the culture, the people, the colors, the food, the religion, essentially everything about it. So, I decided to go to New Delhi for six months through the IVHQ program.
While here, I am going to be teaching slum children. These are the children that you find in the streets of the slum, selling goods and trying to raise money for their family. Tender Hearts is absolutely amazing. They are an NGO with 4 amazing programs: women's empowerment where women make beautiful, handmade goods for corporations and festivals around India (If you want some, contact me!); a special needs school, morning school, and slum teaching. They are absolutely incredible, and the founder is my host mom- the most amazing woman.
Here is their website- http://www.tenderheartngo.org/
I graduated with a degree in Early Childhood Education and a minor in Special Education, and I cannot think of any other way to start my teaching career than in this fascinating, beautiful country.
