Ellen's story

Ellen, a 54 year old teacher from Canada, volunteered to work with HPPI (Humana People-to-People India) in 2000, attracted by the idea of six months training and working with the poor.   She quickly became disillusioned, first with the non-education at IICD Michigan, and then with the amateurism, disregard for volunteers, sniping, intrigue and bullying among project leaders in Rajasthan.

This is an excoriating expose of Tvind in India.   Read her story here.

"Line thought that India is just like Africa.  She had never been to India.  In fact, no one on the staff had ever been to India.  They had all been to either Africa or Central America.  They thought that all third world, developing countries are the same.  There are so many people from India living in the U.S., youd think they could bring in some really interesting people to give seminars, workshops, and language instruction.  No, they dont believe in doing anything for the students.......it is such a relief to not be attached to Humana anymore!  Not to have to say, Im doing some work for Humana People to People..... as a service to the public, help to expose the corruption and pretense of  IICD and Humana."
