It has been really rewarding to be a part of an organization that puts women's and children's wellbeing first. In addition to being admiring and professional, the work atmosphere gives the employees a sense of purpose and a common goal. Every project and activity that is conducted demonstrates the commitment to empowering women and assuring the safety and development of children.

Volunteering at an NGO like SPARSH has been a truly illuminating yet rewarding experience for me. Dr. Barsagade has worked relentlessly towards eradicating the cruel practice of Kurmaghar in Gadchiroli for the past 12 years. Joining the cause under his leadership enabled me to understand how the women of the Madia and Gond tribes have suffered due to this practice, how education and sensitivity in dealing with the tribes is essential towards changing the attitudes of people towards women during their menses, and most importantly, how important it is to keep the conversation regarding this issue alive so that more people become aware of the plight of these women.
