Each year, YFS fellows have had unforgettable and fulfilling experiences


Each and every moment I spent in Suriname was very satisfying and a great learning experience. I would cherish the memories for the rest of my life.

Shobhit Mathur, 2006 Intern

Delivered lectures and conducted workshops in the University of Suriname

Sangola was an unforgettable experience. I went there to do a project the summer after first year of medical school. I was looking for exposure to the medical community and medical issues in India. Sangola's project provided me with that opportunity.

Suneeti Gupta, 2007 InternDesigned and conducted a campaign for awareness of severity of health hazards from home delivery and causes of infant mortality.


My experiences cannot be summed up in just words alone. It was a phenomenal experience that I would recommend to everyone.

Dwijavanthi Kumar, 2008 InternVolunteered at Kidwai Cancer Institute working with Breast Cancer patients and with mobile medical clinic to help initiate health education programs in Bangalore.


I really enjoyed going to Narenda Nele and grew very close to many of the boys and the staff. Not only did I get to know these boys through the time I spent teaching and playing with them, I also learned more about their past and families while documenting their success stories. It was a great experience to get to know the past history of the boys and the obstacles they dealt with and to see the positive impact project NELE is having on their lives.

Katelyn Kerrigan, 2008 InternVolunteered at Nele (Children’s Shelter) and other projects in Bangalore.


The Yuva for Sewa experience gave me an opportunity to immerse myself in a new lifestyle and discover a side of India that I was not exposed to before.

Aparna Garg, 2009 InternVolunteered with Youth for Sewa (NGO) documenting the success stories of slum development projects of various NGOs in Bangalore.
