Education for Children Living on the Streets in India

Unforgettable Experience
April 07, 2017by: Loren Sandoval - MonterreyProgram: Education for Children Living on the Streets in IndiaI spent ten weeks working with street and slum children in Delhi and at the end it felt like it had not been long enough. The kids are full of energy and are so eager to learn that putting in effort on my part came naturally. They are all so full of love and every day I was treated with hugs and kisses from the little ones. I would recommend this experience to anyone. If you like interacting with children, you'll love it and if you are not used to interact with them, you'll learn to love it!
Dear Loren,<br/><br/>Thanks so much for your commitment and dedication to our Street Children program in Delhi! What a difference you have made to the lives of the children and your impact will be long lasting even though the time spent seems short.<br/><br/>Thanks for sharing your experience to encourage others to continue your excellent work :-)<br/><br/>We wish you all the very best for the future and would love to have you back as a Love Volunteer anytime.<br/><br/>The Team @ Love Volunteers.
