“Some travel to see the difference others travel to make the difference”

“Those who travel broaden their horizons. Those who volunteer and travel broaden the horizon of others.” In this post,I would like to highlightthe benefits of travelling. Travelling opens the doors of the mind, the routes of the heart and keeps the spirit of young alive while we get more richer, in terms of experience.
India is a Great Value Destination. One can travel as cheaply or as lavishly as one wants in India, and that's definitely part of its appeal as a tourist destination.India is a land of rich heritage.“Athithi Devo Bhava” meaning “Guest is God” is the ancient Indian tradition of welcoming the guest as God.It has stayed alive despite the countless changes our country has gone through.

Reasons why one should travel to India:
·         Indian Hospitality
Perhaps one thing that is going to touch you deeply on your Indian tour is the warm hospitality of Indians. We strongly believe in “VasudhaivKutmbkam”which means the world is one family. A ready smile on the face and always willing to go out of the way to help somebody are some of the common traits you will find in people here.
·         Explore Spirituality
You would be surprised to know that several of the world's major religions were born in India, including Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, and Jainism. Indian spiritual experiences are like no other in the world. People come from all over the world to experience India's heart of spirituality, diversity and community.
·         Indian Architecture
India has been a land of architectural marvels.India boasts of architectural diversity like no other country in the world. The diversity of Indian culture is represented in its architecture.Taj Mahal, one of the most beautiful monuments and one of the seven wonders of the world is located in India.
·         Indian Food
If you are a food enthusiast you need to look no further. The term "Indian food" covers a lot of territory. Indian cuisine consists of a wide variety of regional and traditional cuisines native to the Indian subcontinent. Indian cuisine reflects an 8,000-year history of various groups and cultures interacting with the Indian subcontinent, leading to diversity of flavours and regional cuisines found in modern-day India.India's regional and cultural diversity reflects beautifully in its food and is possibly the main reason why Indian food outranks that of other countries.

  Menstrual hygiene too and how it effects mental health:  Written by volunteer-coordinator Janyl Kenenbaeva  First of all, let me introduce you what is “Menstrual Hygiene Taboo” Menstrual hygiene taboos are social and cultural restrictions, beliefs, and practices that surround menstruation and affect the way menstruating individuals are treated and how they manage their menstrual hygiene. These taboos vary widely across different cultures and societies, and they can have significant negative consequences for the physical and emotional well-being of those who menstruate. Some common menstrual hygiene taboos and the reasons behind them include: Menstruation as Impurity: In many cultures, menstruation is often viewed as impure or dirty. Menstruating individuals may be considered unclean and are sometimes excluded from participating in religious activities, entering certain places, or even cooking during their periods. Silence and Secrecy: In some societies, menstruation is surrounded by

Funding Forms A Crucial Component In NGO Sustainability

Funding forms a crucial component in not only financing any institution’s operating expenses but  also in fulfilling its desired goals. Similarly, bodies like grassroots non-governmental  organisations (NGOs), local civil society organisations and other non-profit institutions that do  not yield profits and revenues require funding to finance their day-to-day expenses and also to  sustain their zeal and commitment to bring a social transformation. Despite that, it is  disheartening to report that we at HEEALS, Gurugram have not received adequate funds in  recent years to keep us moving forward. Lack of funds poses a threat not only to our collective  performance but also to the quality of our service delivery.  Since our inception, we have always kept the community at the intersection of our goals and  policies. Over the past many years, we have diligently and wholeheartedly reached out to  thousands of people through a diverse range of campaigns such as the distribution of sanitary  p
