With the support of Enfances Indiennes, I had the privilege of completing a six-week voluntary internship at Project WHY during my final year of studies for an MSc Business Transformation for Sustainability. This experience has been incredibly rewarding for me. Being in daily contact with children from the most disadvantaged backgrounds, particularly those from the slums, has profoundly impacted me in a positive way. Their kindness, respect, helpfulness, and constant joy of life have touched me deeply. It was a true delight to share my knowledge with them during my assignment and witness their dedication. Working with Project WHY is not just about contributing; it's about opening up to the world and forming meaningful connections with people who embrace us into their lives with open arms. I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to have embarked on such an enriching journey.
As part of my studies for an MSc in Business Transformation for Sustainability, I had the incredible privilege of volunteering in the educational centres of Project WHY in Okhla and Yamuna, India. This journey was much more than just an adventure; it was an unforgettable human experience. What struck me the most during my six weeks of humanitarian mission were the deep bonds I formed with the children and all the members of Project WHY. Each day was filled with moments of genuine connection, sharing smiles, and camaraderie. Their warm welcome and generosity made my experience even more memorable.
This NGO experience has profoundly transformed me as a person. It opened my eyes to the importance of education and human solidarity, and it gave me a new perspective on life and my own aspirations. I am deeply grateful for it.
