A Visit That Lit Up Hearts in the Himalayas

Tatiana from Germany Empowers Children of I Light Global in Himachal Pradesh
Rose Project | Andretta, Kangra, Himachal Pradesh | International Women's Day 2024

We were deeply honoured to welcome Tatiana from Germany to our Rose Project centre in Andretta, Himachal Pradesh — a journey that beautifully bridges continents through the universal language of education and compassion.

​A Day of Connection and Learning
From the moment Tatiana stepped into our humble classroom, the energy in the room transformed. Children who are often shy and reserved lit up with curiosity and excitement. Armed with books, educational games, stationery, and warm smiles, Tatiana engaged every student with patience, kindness, and genuine care.

• Tatiana led interactive sessions that sparked curiosity, confidence, and creative thinking in our students.
• Children proudly showcased their artwork, paintings, and creative talents to their international guests.
• Educational supplies — notebooks, pens, coloured pencils, books, and chocolates — were gifted to every child.
• Students stood up one by one, spoke aloud, and shone brighter than ever before.
• An alphabet learning board game brought laughter and teamwork to the classroom floor. 

The Spirit of I Light Global in Action
Seeing an international volunteer travel from Europe to a small village in the Himalayan foothills to uplift young lives reminds us of the true power of volunteerism. Every smile exchanged, every hand raised in confidence, every word spoken with courage — that is I Light Global in action.

"Communicate. Connect. Collaborate." — These three words are not just our motto; they are the lived experience of every volunteer who walks through our doors.

Celebrating Our Community on Women's Day
This special visit coincided with International Women's Day, making it all the more meaningful. We celebrate not only Tatiana's incredible generosity and spirit of service, but also the women who make I Light Global's work possible every single day:
Sudesh Kumari — Primary Teacher — the heart and backbone of our Andretta centre.
Anchal — Volunteer — whose dedication and energy inspire our students daily.
All the mothers and families — who trust us with their children's futures.
 
A Heartfelt Thank You
Dear Tatiana — thank you for making this long journey from Germany to our little corner of Himachal Pradesh. Your warmth, your generosity, and your belief in these children will be remembered long after the balloons have come down and the last samosa has been eaten. You have planted seeds of inspiration that will grow for years to come.

To everyone who supports I Light Global — through volunteering, donations, sharing our story, or simply believing in the power of education — thank you. Together, we are lighting the world, one child at a time.
