Introduction

This blog is about an Indian NGO Vishakha and the everyday life and culture in Rajasthan, India through the eyes of an intern from Northern Europe working there.

In the first few posts I cover the work of Vishakha, a Non Governmental Organisation concentrated on women empowerment. You learn the aims of the NGO and their means to reach these aims. Later on you can read about the Indian society and the culture Vishakha works in.

All the information and experiences gained happen during my final internship month in Rajasthan, April, but most of the time I won't be covering the experiences in real time or on a daily basis due to the lack of computers or access to internet. For example, the Gangaur festival I participated the last week will be discussed later in a future post.

In the next post I'll cover more about the work of Vishakha. We at Vishakha hope you enjoy the one-month story of our NGO and Rajasthan!
