First Secretary for Exchanges and Education, Mr. Matthew Asada, visited Dehradun to meet with exchange alumni and visit education institutions on December 6, 2016. After visiting Welham Girls’ School and The Doon School, he met with a group of Dehradun Exchange Alumni. These alumni and their partner organization, SPECS, are leading a #AEIF2016 project Lighting Up Lives that will train 150 people from across rural India on how to build and repair LED lightbulbs. The visit was rounded out with a high-tea with Dehradun-based alumni of various U.S. Government-sponsored exchange programs. Thanks to all who participated! #ExchangesAre building communities and promoting sustainable energy use!
