Project Why began as a spontaneous reaction to help an unfortunate few, and has
grown organically over eight years to become an extraordinary lifeline that
offers children hope and joy in the place of sadness and despair. The initial
few were kids born into the slums in the South of Delhi, but they were the
unluckiest of the unlucky, born with special needs into a place where even able
children stand little chance. Project Why created both classes and teachers from
resources in the slums and they quickly became full. So more had to be done,
more money found, more teachers trained, more classrooms formed from the rubble.
Today Project Why teaches 600 kids, employs 30 local staff and has even
sponsored 12 open-heart surgeries.
From the beginning Project Why has included a global family of volunteers who
come to Delhi to teach English classes, paint walls, work with Special Needs
kids or just generally make themselves available to help. We are also now a
virtual family with volunteers blogging, writing grants, designing buildings and
much more from thousands of miles away. We could currently use someone to help
us with on-line marketing and search engine optimization as well. Whatever your
skills, please contact us and we'll try to put you to good use (and we'll make
sure you have a bit of fun too). There is no fee to volunteer, but we do ask for
500 rupees a day for room and board if you'd like to stay with us. If you're
interested in helping us either In India or from the comfort of your own
computer, please e-mail Andyjellin@hotmail.com with a brief description of your
interests and abilities so we can figure out together how you can help. |
