Jasmine Kurian - Short-term Internship to the Philippines - Pag-Asa
Hello! My name is Jasmine Kurian, and I am passionate about serving communities, advocating for social justice, and bringing hope to a broken world. I was born in Bangalore, South India, but much of my early life was spent in rural North India, where my parents dedicated themselves to hospital missions. Growing up in this environment, I witnessed firsthand the power of faith and compassion in transforming lives. God has continually opened doors for my family in ways we never imagined, deepening my trust in His provision and purpose.
I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Intercultural Studies with a major in Global Social Justice at Prairie College in Alberta, Canada. Now in my second year, I am excited about the opportunities ahead, especially GlobeTrek—a transformative 8-month cross-cultural experience in my third year.
For my Internship, I will be partnering with ACTION International in the Philippines, working with Project Pag-asa, a trauma-sensitive school for children living in orphanages. Many of these children have endured severe trauma, including abuse, neglect, and abandonment. I look forward to assisting in classrooms, leading activities, and supporting these children as they heal and grow. As an adopted child myself, my heart reaches out to others in similar circumstances. I am eager to give back the love of Jesus that I have been so blessed to receive from my own family!
As you read this, I ask for your prayers and support. I am raising $6,000 CAD to fund my travel and Internship. If you feel led to support me through financial giving, you can do so at the top of this page. I would also appreciate your prayers,
“…just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.”
Thank you for your support and for being a part of this journey with me!
