For the month of September, we had an amazing volunteer, Jared, from California. Jared is a public speaker by profession. In 3 weeks of service, he showed great enthusiasm in giving Public Speaking classes to our girls at FFLV. He also taught the girls some lessons on Personality Development. The girls learned conversational skills, the importance of communicating effectively while giving public speeches and some important techniques while communicating: – Pause, Posture, eye-contact, use of space, etc. These classes are now helping them in their day-to-day lives. While here Jared made full use of his time and also gave classes to the ex students, teachers and staff of FFLV.  He shared his experience with us- “Well, not by any surprise -the girls stole my heart from day one.  You show up to this school with almost 1,500 4-17 year olds in navy blue uniforms, perfectly braided hair and a smile […]

They told me that I […]

Jayati, the oldest sister, left school in 6th grade, and the parents and other five sisters have never had an opportunity to be educated at all. The father works in construction and the mother as a house cleaner, and the father’s abuse of alcohol has led him to mistreat and neglect his wife and children. Muskan and her oldest sister Jayati are living an hour away from the rest of their family in a rented room so Muskan has a chance to complete her education and break her family’s cycle of poverty for good. This is a lot of responsibility for a 6-year-old girl, so Bhakti Yoga DC (BYDC) is sharing the burden, taking on Muskan’s tuition fees for as long as she stays in school. Come join us and […]
