Communication for Empowerment July 22 –October 2, 2009
“ I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I
want the cultures of all the lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible”

Ritinjali’ s educational programs have always been marked by their inclusiveness. We
have developed a unique program that brings five young high school graduates from
rural Thailand to India where they will continue their educational journey. Taking this a
step further, because Ritinjali believes strongly in recognizing and indeed celebrating
existing commonalities and similarities across geographic, religious, cultural and linguistic
boundaries, we have included a promising group of students from India and beyond to
participate in this program so we can facilitate a network of youth leaders across this
region that can operate as part of a larger community, rather than in isolation, to work
towards social and economic empowerment.
