We believe these TFAS sponsored projects in India will be very useful for our
youth to learn more about the infrastructure of India as well as getting exposed
to our culture & language. In addition to having an enrichment and experience,
students will produce original papers. The liberal arts projects are expected to
be in Andhra Pradesh towns & villages.

important. Willing to adopt to Indian standards of living.
ALL EXPENSES -- AIR FARE, BOARDING AND LODGING -- WILL BE BORN BY THE
ANDIDATES. TFAS WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY.
There is an option to drop out after a 2 week trial period if there are
unavoidable reasons, but we discourage from dropping out of the program. We want
this TFAS Youth project to become successful & wish to continue this project for
years to come.
