Connecting the Diaspora:
Service opportunities for South Asian youth in India

 Friends

I am posting this information on behalf of Roshni Kasad , of the wonderful opportunities awaiting any South Asian youth interested in doing service work in India.  InSPIRE is a short summer program  while Indicorps is a 1-2 year service program which Roshni did  in 2003.  Both are amazing opportunities that allow the youth  to explore India  through service.  Please contact  Roshni Kasad  if you have any questions.roshnikasad@gmail.com.

“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.”
– US President Barack Obama.

Indicorps announces over 30 competitive new projects for the August 2009 Indicorps Diaspora Fellowship.  Indicorps seeks a few dozen dedicated young Indian leaders who are willing to challenge themselves and “be the change.”  Tackle real issues in education, microfinance, social entrepreneurship, environmental conservation, public health, urban infrastructure, and much more.  Live simply and dig deep to learn about real India (and yourself); projects span from Kanpur to Pondicherry, Gujarat to Madhya Pradesh.  To learn more, visit http://apply.indicorps.org. 

In the spirit of Obama’s campaign to create “Change you can believe in,” Indicorps is a real opportunity for CHANGE YOU MAKE HAPPEN.  The August 2009 fellowship model will mobilize passionate, sincere fellows to become strong team players and leaders who will build sustainable new initiatives.

Applications are due 15 March 2009.  Please email us at apply@indicorps.org if you have any questions or technical difficulties.
