Arjun’s Mission: Making a Difference in India

On Arjun’s first mission trip to India, the care packages went to poor children on the streets of India.  On the second mission trip, the care packages went to young women in an orphanage setting. These care packages had curated items specifically for the young women.  On Arjun’s third trip to India, funds were provided to an orphanage for their operations.

Arjun was inspired to return to India for his second trip because of how giving care packages on the first trip made him feel.  Providing care packages one on one to a person in need has really impacted Arjun. He has been able to see the recipient of his kindness, face-to-face, and feel gratitude.  He especially likes taking photos with children who are about his own age and often looks at them and envisions himself living those life experiences.  Arjun plans to continue these types of care packages and mission trips on future visits.  Although he understands the importance of giving unrestricted money to fund operations, he really prefers providing goods and services individually as it feels more personal and meaningful to him.
