Swades Ki Khoj 2008
We have just commenced promotion for Swades Ki Khoj 2008. Our initiative to provide young graduates between the ages of 21 and 28 with the opportunity to spend a year living and working in a rural area and to possibly discover themselves.
The first cohort had 14 young people who have been spending the past year with an organisation located in one of these states - Rajasthan, Bihar, Jharkhand, UP, MP and Uttarakhand.
We would be delighted if you could pass this on to young people whom you think might be interested. If you know of an organisation that might be willing to host these young people for a year and would we willing to invest time in them, then please let us know.
