As part of our India Volunteer Programme, volunteers are asked to produce a project or reflection on their time in India. These projects take the form of photos, films, presentations, articles or reports on each volunteer experience and placement organisation. It provides a focus for reflection and learning during each volunteer placement and DiA shares them through our website as a means to build awareness of global issues beyond the individual. .
