Volunteer for One!
One of the most exciting opportunities that One! provides, is the
opportunity to volunteer. There is nothing more satisfying than giving
of yourself and knowing that you are helping many, many people.
One! has volunteer placements in both India (on the ground with the children),
and in Canada (administration, research, fundraising, etc.).

You can also read through the diary of the current volunteers in India, and

It has been India's worst kept secret, and things are getting worse. Despite bombing
growth rates and rising illiteracy, more girl children are being muffled into the silence
of death at or before birth. Fresh statistics reveal that 80% of India's districts
have recorded a decline in sex ratios of children since 1991.
The all-India average (of girl children to boys) is 927 girls for 1,000 boys which puts
the country right at the bottom of the chart internationally, even below countries like
strife-torn Nigeria (965) and Pakistan (958). According to the report, only China, with
832 girls, ranks below India on this dubious list.
