US Ambassador Timothy J. Roemer inspired by HOPE worldwide program

US Ambassador to India Timothy Roemer recently visited HOPE worldwide India's USAID "Chotton Ki Asha" program in Delhi.

In describing his visit to Chotton Ki Asha, Ambassador Roemer said,
"All dressed in bright colored orange, green, purple, and blue sarees, they conveyed moving and emotional stories about how a USAID sponsored program, in partnership with the government of Delhi, has transformed their lives. Through maternal health programs, vocational education, and microenterprise loans, they have a new and hopeful life. Now, they want to do this for others and teach neighbors about polio immunization, how to read, and how to sew on a machine."
