Finding Purpose Beyond the Office
Riya Sharma had a comfortable job, a good salary, and a nagging feeling that something was missing. A friend shared our volunteer page. Six months later, she has taught over 40 adults conversational English.
"The first day I walked in, I was terrified," she laughs. "But when a 55-year-old man read his first full English sentence aloud, I cried. I have been coming back every week since."
