“India, a colourful, vibrant<br />
educational place. Initially I came<br />
here for work experience but along the<br />
way I have gained so much more that<br />
will forever be irreplaceable. Going to<br />
the Mission Hospital, the Pingalwara<br />
and the Unique Girls’ Home taught me<br />
that being humble and selfless goes<br />
such a long way”.<br />
Amal Aweis (year 12)<br />
“There was so much selfless service in India so much<br />
gratitude and perseverance. All of the places we visited<br />
relied solely on the goodness of others giving their<br />
time without expecting something in return. Going<br />
to see how a group of women in a rural village had<br />
been empowered to start their own business and how<br />
they as a group combated alcoholism rife within their<br />
community made me realise that we have to first decide<br />
to make a change for good things to happen”.<br />
Rachana Mudrakolla (year 12)<br />
“When I stepped into the country I found myself in<br />
a new world surrounded by many different cultures<br />
moulded into one. It was bewildering when we arrived<br />
in Amritsar: noise, the driving, the stark contrast<br />
between rich and poor confused me. Visiting the<br />
Golden Temple was an insightful experience, seeing<br />
people worship and having a tour around the temple<br />
complex surprised me due to the humanity I saw from<br />
others and their eagerness to worship but also their<br />
willingness to accept me even though my religion was<br />
different from theirs”.<br />
Zakariye Abdalle (year 12)<br />
“My initial experience of Indian<br />
hospitals came from when we had to<br />
take my younger brother to one and<br />
my mum had to pay for his treatment.<br />
However I left the Mission Hospital<br />
with a positive feeling as people there<br />
who were very poor were still being<br />
treated and were being treated very<br />
well and with a love and kindness that<br />
should be extended to all regardless<br />
of wealth. What stood out to me the<br />
most was that it was apparent that<br />
the people in this hospital lived out<br />
their Sikh faith. After learning about<br />
Sikhism at GCSE it was amazing to see<br />
that people actively practised their<br />
religion through selfless service and<br />
in how they saw God in all those they<br />
were treating. I think we often pay lip<br />
service to our religions but here in this<br />
hospital it was an active part of dayto-day<br />
life and this gave me such hope<br />
in the kindness of humanity and our<br />
ability to make a difference”.<br />
