elise... an indian at heart

Elise has come to us twice and booked her ticket for her next visit. She is an Indian at heart and in more ways than one. When with us. Elise spends her time with the smaller kids who now consider her one of their own.

cyril.. our angry young man

Cyril has come to pwhy twice. We will remember him most for his angst in the wake of things he saw and his burning desire to change things. He helped us at our cyber club where he ran several workshops but Cyril wanted to live his experience to the fullest and even spent two nights at the gypsy camp in order to imbibe life in the slums.
A keen lensman, Cyril shared his experience at pwhy in two picture books he published.

barbara.. our mentor

Barbara is definitely our wisest and dearest volunteer. She came not once but twice and we hope to see her again. She helped us set up the creche at the women centre and worked in our main creche too. She also helped us draft our planet why proposal and remains our mentor in many ways.

monica and the camera

Monica spent a few weeks with us and worked with the smaller children. An endearing person she will be remembered for her passion for photography and the innumerable pictures she took.

alienor.. resident volunteer

Alienor decided not only to volunteer at pwhy but also to live with the children. She came in the dead of summer and lived at the foster care for a whole month notwithstanding the heat, the power cuts or the rustic living conditions. She was dearly loved by her roomies and by the special kids with whom she spent the day.

Her dedication and compassion were one of a kind!

adrian .. Kyagua

Adrian spent a whole month with us. To us he will always be Kyagua as that became his famous hindi rendition of Kya hua - what is happening -!

Adrian was God sent as he came at a time when we needed someone to help us draft project reports something he excelled in. He shared many of our anxious moments as we saw dreams almost happen then shatter and reappear again. His strong presence helped us weather many a storm.

Firdaush.. a force to reckon with

Firdaush spent six weeks at project why and was a real force to reckon with. She spent her time with the tiny tots and her formidable spirit added zest to the class. She introduced many new games and activities that we still follow.
Her joie de vivre was a great fillip for all of us. We miss her dearly!
