Asha




Hello!

This summer we are working as volunteers at Asha Community Health and Development Society in New Delhi, India (www.asha-india.org).

Asha is a community health and development society dedicated to helping the nearly 4 million people living in slums in the city of Delhi, India. Formed in 1988, Asha works with nearly 300,000 slum dwellers in 46 slum colonies around the city of Delhi, enabling them to transform their lives. "Asha" means "hope" in Hindi and the society aims to give people living in slums the chance to realize their potential, regardless of their ethnic background, caste or religious beliefs.

Asha's 3-pronged approach provides support, education and healthcare. This summer our work will help to realize the healthcare goals of the organization.

Moreover, we hope to enjoy our first trip to India! We hope you find our blog both entertaining and informative!

Namaste!
