My Story

This year I am participating in the UCDVO Volunteer Programme, a component of which is an approximately 4-week voluntary placement with Society for Working Life (SWL) and Women’s Work and Health Initiative (WWHI) based in the Community Educational and Development Centre (CEDC) in Sangham Vihar, New Delhi. UCDVO is a registered charity that provides UCD students, staff and alumni with the opportunity to engage in a volunteer programme for the benefit of disadvantaged communities overseas, in response to needs explicitly identified by those communities. UCDVO’s programme combines volunteering and global citizenship education to encourage critical thinking and active citizenship. As part of this programme, volunteers, including myself, will support an early year’s education programme for girls being implemented by UCDVO’s partners the Society for Working Life (SWL) and Women’s Work and Health Initiative (WWHI) in the Community Educational and Development Centre (CEDC) in Sangham Vihar, New Delhi. The centre enables 100 children from the city’s poorest areas to access education and nutritious meals. Some of the activities included are English language, digital literacy, cultural exchange, drama and gender awareness seminars. The majority of these funds will go directly to UCDVO’s overseas partners and contribute to their development programmes. Thank you for your support, Emma.
