We advocate Active Citizenship and Volunteering through our programs, and I'm glad that we are about to give Transformational experience to 15 youth through 'Summer School for Social Transformation' which is going to happen on May in Rural village of Bihar.

I hope that connecting with the community of Philanthropy University would strengthen my capacity to deliver life-changing experiences to more people.

Looking forward to connecting with you all.
