India
"It was wonderful from beginning to end. I am indebted to many people in India, the In-Country staff and the UK and US staff, who helped me along the way and made the journey so memorable. I had such a positive time in India, learning about the culture, the society, and the role of the NGO's but also aspects about myself that I hadn't realised before. It was a personal reflective journey that enabled me to gain another perspective, particularly within the realm of the caring field."Louise Doyle, India volunteer
