The Problem

I'm trying to help the under privileged in India. India is one the poorest yet also richest countries in the world, because of the caste system. In India I was in three different communities trying to build relationships with the kids keep them off the streets. I was also in the schools to help because in India the schooling system is so geared towards tests that the kids pretty much either do awesome in school or just drop out.

Plan of Action

I've already completed my plan of action for the most part. I just recently got back to America from spending 5 and a half months in India with a team from the UK. We had these things things called "fun stations" that we held at either a church or the school in the community and we just had games and crafts going on. We also helped coach a minor league soccer team when we were there, in the early hours of the morning. And as a last thing we taught English to those who wanted to learn.
