Volunteer story

"I came to teach. The work taught me."

He joined NCDS as a centre teacher in 2018, expecting to teach letters and numbers. Within two years, the families he served had pulled him deeper — by 2020 he had trained as a social worker, and today he serves entire communities.

Robina Tandon tells a similar story: a Field Organizer since August 2018, she now holds together the network of centres, parents, and teachers that keeps the Open Door open.
