Words From Volunteers

Stories that reflect the change we create together.

We were very lucky to join the tour arranged by Delhi by Locals where Salman and Pradeep showed me this wonderful NGO learning place. Half of the tour’s profit goes towards youth empowerment. The place is small but we are glad to see many happy teachers, staff and happy students. This is like visiting a very big and very close family. We are even more happy to see the students there give back to the community and becomes teachers themselves to help others. If you are visiting Delhi, do contact Delhi by Locals who can show you this wonderful place and introduce you to the wonderful students and staff here.

Two years ago, a friend and I visited India and were extremely fortunate to have Pradeep of LBL give us a tour of the Sanjay Colony. As part of the tour, we went to the LBL classrooms and learned about their mission. Pradeep and his teachers and students are life-changers for people in their community. I am proud to support them financially.

I got a lot of information from L.B.L. as I wanted. My confidence for life is also high and I have come out a little from my comfort zone. L.B.L has helped me a lot. Earlier I was something else but now I am something else than before. A lot has changed in my life now and the behavior of L.B.L is very good, no one judges me. I came to know through L.B.L what I want to do in life and I have learnt a lot from L.B.L.

Before Learning by Locals, I never thought I could continue my studies. My family couldn’t afford school and I had almost given up. Today, I can read, write, and even help my younger siblings with their studies. This program has given me confidence and hope for a brighter future.
