My name is Priyanka. I have been wanting to do volunteer work for the longest time, to bring a sense of purpose in my life. And so I recently came across a women empowerment volunteer programme with IVHQ in Kerala, India. It's a programme that supports and educates women and girls in the Fort Kochi community to develop their English skills, build their confidence and grow their leadership capacity. Women in India face a wide range of social inequalities and many women do not have the opportunity to complete their education or enter the workforce because of an early marriage and a very conservative family environment. This would be great opportunity for me to make a difference in someone's life.
