My experience as lead volunteer in 2019 was very memorable. I learned a lot of leadership skills and organizational skills while planning an event. I also learned the importance of team work especially in organizing such a big event. I think it is very important to delegate tasks that way the work can get done faster, more efficiently, and everyone feels involved and included. Some advice I would give to the next lead volunteers is to be flexible. Many times throughout the event we ran into many obstacles and things didn’t go according to plan. I learned it is extremely important to be adaptable to unexpected problems and make the best out of the experience.

Our Organization started out by adopting a drought ridden village in Maharashtra and through our efforts tirelessly raising funds and awareness, we were not only able to help that village, thrive with drought protection measures, but also reached many more water conservationist all across the world through WWC. Being able to affect change half way around the world, was something I could never fathom, but through this organization we were able to accomplish that and much more.
