Rajkiyakritya Odiya Middle School

 The most emotional part of this experience was to know that 50 students are living in the school. The principal is a strong woman and I hope she can carry out this project.

We've done a volunteer work at this school playing and sharing some experience with the students. One thing that I see over and over is that to achieve excellent results you need your team emotionally engaged. I appreciate the opportunity to spend this morning with them.

Szandra and Manju also helped me a lot, Szandra with shopping for Durga and Manju by helping me to dress the sari.

What are we doing in India?

We are here to make recommendations to School of Hope that has mentally challenged students. Our recommendations include process improvement and best practices. We are visiting many stakeholders that can help us to have a better understanding of the challenges. That is the reason you see us in so many places: schools, hospital, offices.
