Guerrilla Aid

I had an amazing time in India..

INDIA was a really remarkable place, and I was fortunate to meet some beautiful people and be part of some great work. I really owe a huge thanks to Doulat my rickshaw driver in Udaipur - he joined "Guerrilla Aid" with gusto and helped me have an amazing time...

A few things I found to do while in India...

Volunteered for two days distributing medicine to remote villages near the Pakistani border.

Volunteered with an NGO to take school supplies to children involved with child labor. They are now providing 2 hours a day of basic education - the best that can be done at the moment.

I challenged my rickshaw driver to a day of Guerrilla Aid and gave him $100 to do it. He decided to use the money to pay for the cremation of 3 homeless bodies (Hindu custom - and one of my stranger days).

Spent a day volunteering at a local school teaching basic english conversation.

On Martin Luther King National Day of Service (Obama), I went back to the same school with all the school supplies they had told me the children needed for the rest of the year.
