Are you looking for a short term donation of time and research in an abroad program or are you looking for a career in this field? IMs. Rachael Paulson is the founder of a grassroot organization called Hands ON the World Global and am setting up a HUB school in South Africa that will soon work as the base for science and research. It started with the install of water as 700 schools in Kwa zulu Natal do not have running water. The young girls leave schools to walk miles to fetch dirty filthy water. From the install grew a sustainablilty project that is now working to plant foods to help those dying from HIV and they are putting in livestock programs.
This HUB school area will soon work as the base for exchange students and for professionals who would like to donate time while growing in experience.
The board is growing strong and they are still working on building a strong foundation of a 5 year plan.
You can contact Ms. Rachael Paulson if you would like to get more information. They are not paying employees at this time as the funds are all going into the HUB properties.
There is so much more to share and you can see photos of her work on her web site which is not yet filled with all of the information that is updated.

A PLEDGE !!
Sometimes I am astonished by what nature has given to us, and we keep ruining it as days go by.
This year I have decided to share it with as many people and my family that "I will not harm the environment which includes plants, animals, water, air and other organisms".
I will discontinue using Fire Crackers from this year onwards, which we use for our pleasure and for the environment at stake. Noticed more recently that Fire Crackers have become the disastrous source of displaying a happy moment in the family for millions of people across our country and around the world for example : Marriages, A Win in the game of Cricket, Parties, Birth of a Child etc...etc. Leave aside "DIWALI" in the "Indian Context" for which Fire Crackers were actually meant to be used.
I will discontinue using Plastic bags for carrying groceries...instead if I am really a style freak till the grocers shop!!! I will accompany myself with a nice cloth bag.
I will not waste WATER. Even a drop of it...Remember...My nanny always told me not to waste it..drop by drop fills a pool of bucket! And thus, if I do not use a bucket to fill that drop, it will be wasted!
Its only a few things in life I can manage a few years down the line to make this World... a bit ...better place.
And this is for all those people out there who can make a difference !
