As with other WEF programs, the enthusiasm and hard work of WEF members is key. According to WEF Treasurer Prad Khare , the return on program investment is huge because of the magnitude of environmental problems in India. IEA has used the US-AEP funding to enhance its workshops and conferences, and update its Web site. Thanks to US-AEP, two WEF members will be attending the conference and presenting workshops in three additional cities. IEA is appealing to WEF members who routinely travel to India to make contact with the Association and potentially participate in IEA events and conferences.
Volunteers can also share information about India with their local association.
Khare stresses the personal satisfaction he gets from helping his home country and paying back the education that India invested in him. In May a WEF member will travel to Indonesia to participate in a workshop. But thanks to the work of WEF volunteers, the program is ending with strong, active associations in each of the countries.
