[Gramya Manthan 2016]: Fourth List of Changeagents Invited

RURAL IMMERSION PROGRAM BY YOUTH ALLIANCE

December 17 - 25, 2016

In Villages near Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India

We are delighted to share the fourth list of 10 Changeagents invited to Gramya Manthan 2016 - Winter Edition organized by Youth Alliance.

Its our sincere hope that the experience of Gramya Manthan for them opens several doors of deeper exploration of their own self and of the world. And that this journey of theirs with Youth Alliance helps them take some fundamental steps to be more self-driven as individuals and contribute meaningfully to our world.

Here's some empathy coming your way from Calvin & Hobbes! We dive deeper in it & with it during our 9-day adventure and beyond.
