Since 2000, Pardada Pardadi Educational Society has been improving the lives of girls in rural India. Its mission is to uplift and empower girls from the poorest sections of society by providing free education and vocational training -- creating a new generation of self-reliant and educated girls who will break the cycle of poverty in the region.
PPES started a new program, 'Paper Preeti', that allows its students to see the world through the eyes of people all around the world.
Twenty PPES students created a paper doll ("Paper Preeti") with a brief background written on the back. The Paper Preetis were then
mailed to participants throughout the globe, who will 'show' Paper Preeti their favorite part of town. The participant will take a picture with Paper Preeti, upload it to a website, and then forward her on to a new part of the world.
PPES students had a great time making the Paper Preetis, and are excited at the prospect of seeing 'themselves' pictured in different parts of the world. Click here to see just a few of the sights Paper Preeti has visited to date!
