Towards the end of our journey – Sneha Susan, Outbound participant

It has been 1 year since I moved to Germany for the Weltwärts South-North programme. The whole experience has been eye-opening and also inspirational.

In my project, I was able to interact with children from so many different countries, and also work with people from different places. We got to share stories, experiences from all our countries, and this was an enriching experience….

Volunteering in Germany – Grahisha Kairan

Volunteering in Germany – Grahisha Kairan

It’s been 3 months now – I never imagined that I would spend a year volunteering in Berlin, since I have done my studies in engineering. Like the saying goes, everything is planned and happens according to it. Since always, I was interested in designing creatives, DIYs (Do-It-Yourself) etc. I was fortunate enough that I got to work in a project called Speilmittle. Speilmittle is a place for creative minds. Here, creative toys are made for children, blind people, senior…
