Reality Gives is so happy to get great hard working volunteers on board from time to time. They always do a little bit more than expected!

Laura for example who was in Mumbai in June to research for a Mobile English Language Learning Programme did also a great job creating profiles on our YEP students. Rose who is currently with Reality Gives to monitor the Girls Football programme was also asking the girls about their ambitions and dreams.

Every week from now we will publish the portraits of two of our beneficiaries these two volunteers made for us. We will start with our football girls, go ahead with the YEP students and will research for more profiles on our teachers and other Reality Gives friends. If you want to help us writing blog articles,get in contact with us.
