The mental enervation caused by propagating the cause of
nonprofits can be overbearing at times. Luckily at Sewa, our staff always has a
positive attitude towards changing the landscape for refugee empowerment. The
validation provided by a child who speaks minimal English, yet is dedicated to learn,
is truly spectacular. As the SLI program draws to a close, it is paramount to
reflect on the value of Sewa tutors on the refugee and immigrant students.
While it is impossible to quantify this value, I truly believe that the
presence of our tutors eased the tasks of teachers who don’t have the resources
to give special attention to every student that demands it. This week at Sewa,
I also got to work on grant proposals and develop case studies of the targeted
beneficiary. With the amalgamation of my theoretical work and the pragmatic
application of those theories, Sewa has provided a work environment conducive
to social entrepreneurship. This organization promotes outside-the-box thinking
for its interns so they can solve complex problems. I am proud to be a small
part of Sewa’s bigger mission.
