“Volunteering for SoCHE was a natural choice for me as I had previously worked with the Founder and knew of the passion with which she works. The need assessment survey that I volunteered for was carried along with college student. I was monitoring them to carry interviews, FGDs and make the resource maps of the potters’ colony in Delhi. It was fairly challenging as the potters were a little apprehensive initially but we were able to convince them to participate in the surveys. Through Project Maati Milaap, I am now able to view sustainable development as a whole and understand the interconnectedness of social and environmental issues, which people in the sector often miss.”
