The fifth cohort of post-army 'Heroes For Life' volunteers with GPM

For the fifth year in a row, Heroes For Life (HFL) לוחמים ללא גבולות, a group of recently-released army soldiers who are dedicated to "giving back" to vulnerable populations around the world, are back in India volunteering with GPM. With their largest cohort thus far of 36, the HFL team are teaching in the Kalwa slums and rural village schools, and creating an eco-friendly vegetable garden to showcase farming innovations such as rainwater harvesting, solar water pumps, and drip irrigation techniques being implemented by the GPM rural nutrition program.

"The HFL participants bring a lot of passion and excitement to our classes," said GPM Project Coordinator Dennis Moses. "They create innovative lessons that the children love and are energized by."
