Seen Slumdog Millionaire?  How about making a real impact in a similar environment?

The Association for India’s Development is offering qualified students an opportunity to intern at a non-profit educational institution supporting children from a slum in Mumbai, India. This institution is called Parivartan, and provides informal education to children in slums across Mumbai. The activities of interns will include teaching arts & crafts, coaching the students in music & drama, generating awareness via blogs and social media, organizing excursions for students, and more.

Application Qualifications & Requirements:

Undergraduate juniors and seniors and graduate students in any discipline are eligible to apply. Qualified students will have a passion to make an impact in an underdeveloped region.

What they get in return is the gratitude of extremely poor students, many of whom would go without education if it weren’t for Parivartan. Although assistance will be provided in finding grants, students are responsible for procuring funds for travel and expenses while in Mumbai.
