    This program in Danishpet provides a great insight in South Indian culture, mentality and traditions. The children are offered a broad range of activities and intense support for their studies. I am grateful for this time and I would like to visit the project again one day.
    I would recommend this program when you are very willing to adapt completely to this totally different culture, if you have a lot of creativity in dealing with the children and are an extroverted and flexible person.
