SUMMARY:2026 International Student Trip to Hemalkasa
DESCRIPTION:After the overwhelming success of the 2025 Youth LEAD international immersion to Hemalkasa\, ICA is delighted to announce that we will be organizing the trip again in Summer 2026. Last year’s participants had an extraordinary experience working alongside the Lok Biradari Prakalp team—learning firsthand about community service\, problem-solving\, leadership\, empathy\, and cultural understanding. The feedback from students and parents was heartwarming\, with many calling it a life-changing experience. \nDue to the high demand in 2025\, we were unable to accommodate all interested students. Keeping this in mind\, ICA has decided to open additional spots for the 2026 program so more young leaders can participate in this transformative journey. \nSpecial Attraction for Pre-Med Students \nPre-med and aspiring healthcare students will have a unique opportunity to shadow doctors and gain first-hand exposure to hospital and clinical operations at Hemalkasa healthcare center—an invaluable experience for\nthose considering a career in medicine. \nTravel Dates: June 28 – July 12\, 2026\nDestination: Hemalkasa\, Maharashtra\, India \nMore Details & Application Information:\nhttps://www.icaonline.org/impact/youth-leadership.php \nWe encourage families to explore the program early and consider this rare opportunity for students to broaden their worldview while making a meaningful impact.
