Internship with Uday Foundation – Child Health & Rights – Delhi, India
The story of how Uday Foundation came to be is a story of human courage, kindness and persistence. It’s a story that makes you believe in goodness of life all over again, a story which reminds us that while it is easy to become and remain cynically indifferent, it’s not THAT difficult to pause, think and begin to care and make a difference. I won’t be doing justice to the story by reproducing it here, for that you should visit the website – sufficient to say that very few of us would have turned a personal ordeal into an opportunity to serve the mankind the way Mr. & Mrs. Verma, ordinary people like you and me, have.
This internship, in area of child health, is your chance to be part of this story.
