Role & Responsibility
Sathya is a full time volunteer engaged in grassroots work covering several
villages in India. She is especially involved in Project Trigger, bringing
together college students with disabilities; and Asha Scholarships supporting
children in isolated low income families. Sathya has handled the treasury work
and in addition has contributed through documentation of work done by other
grass roots volunteers. As many grass roots volunteers in India do not pay
attention to documentation or lack the skill to document their work, Sathya’s
role makes a critical difference in many projects. Sathya was a member of the
Asha 2003 conference organizing team in Chennai. She participated in the Asha
Sanctuary conference held in Mysore in Dec 2003 and the Asha Assam conference
held at Guwahati in May 2004.
