 Teacher at Sahasra
Deepika Institute
Bangalore, India
Laura will be working in Sahasra Deepika Institute, a school for homeless
and orphan children in Bangalore, India. Laura will be teaching a three-course
curriculum in English language, civic engagement, and ecological awareness.
Laura hopes that her Civics course will help the students "become agents of
change in their community" by stressing that "each individual has duties and
responsibilities to society." Laura's passion for ecological issues stems from
her experience in the Audobon Society, and she hopes to inspire her students to
appreciate and preserve their environment. When asked about the challenges she
foresees, Laura said, "While working among them with the culture shock, the
mosquitoes and the heat will be challenging, it can only help push my limits
and make me step outside my comfort zone to foster my inner growth."
