On International Women's Day, we applaud all the women we have had the opportunity to work with in the villages of India. Our programs in rural India have allowed students from all over the world to witness the gradual empowerment of women in economically backward areas. Today we celebrate every woman farmer, artisan, small business owner and home maker in India.
