• What does development look like in the context of India?
• What does it mean to completely immerse yourself in community service?
• How can we truly connect and serve?
During the summer of 2010, University of Toronto graduate student Manisha Pahwa embarked on an intense journey through India to explore these questions and more. From slums and rural villages to major cities and experimental ones, this presentation illustrates grassroots development issues and creative examples of service in Indian communities.
Please join Manisha as she shares profiles of inspiring people such as Rajubhai, who passionately strives to develop India’s “model village”; Jayeshbhai, who has over 180,000 slum children that he considers his own; and Arun-anna, who left big city life to live sustainably, start a school for children of low-income farm workers, and spark a reforestation project. This will be an afternoon of incredible stories, photos, videos, and interactive discussion and activities. All are welcome!
InSPIRE is a non-partisan, non-religious five-week immersion program in India that reconnects young South Asians from abroad to the land of their heritage.
