Greetings from India. I'm writing you to let you know about the fellowship I am currently participating in and to welcome any IPE seniors to apply for next year. I've been here since July and have already learned and experienced so much. The fellowship trains post-graduates in social enterprise by placing them as a consultant in a social business here in India. This year, every fellow is placed in an Affordable Private School, but next year placements will likely expand to other sectors as well. We are given great opportunities to make a difference in our schools, but also to work on projects with other social enterprises, attend conferences, and travel independently. I highly recommend the program to any loggers who are open to living in India for a year, are demonstrated leaders, and are interested in how business and non-profit ethics can intersect to create sustainable change with high social impact.The program is called IDEX Fellowship in Social Enterprise and it is run though a US company called Gray Matters Capital.Hope all is well at UPS!Jessica
