FROM THE MUMBAI FELLOWS
“ I chose Mumbai. Ever since I have started living here I have realized that if you can live in Mumbai, you can handle any city in the world. Mumbai gives you the freedom to work independently and learn so much, all the time! The city pushes you out of your comfort zone and transforms you completely!”
- Ritika Chawla, Mumbai Fellow 2010
“No matter where you come from and what your interests are, you find your niche in Mumbai. You have everything you need here – groceries, movies and stores, reliable public transportation. Fellows in Mumbai are spread out all over, so in case you need any help, there’s bound to be someone close to where you live.”
- Anasuya Menon, Teach For India Alumna, 2009
