While I was in India, I worked with Rescue Pink; an organization who strives toward creating an India that cherishes and values girls through rescue, prevention, and awareness. I helped out with their summer program, teaching the girls that they have value and worth along with subjects such as math, crafts, games and health. I had a group of 7-10 girls, ages 4-8 years. I had a truly wonderful time with these sweet girls. Every day looked a little different but this blog shows what a typical day could look like through pictures. I hope you enjoy!
