It was very enlightening and informative, particularly the part about the International surrogacy program. We would like to extend our wishes to the marginalised women and children for their healthy development. We are interested to refer more students from our University to visit ICWO for a valuable learning.”
A.J. Hariharan Secretary ICWO said, “An organization like ICWO, which has 19 years experience in developmental field, is important to share its experience with international students, which will help them understand the challenges faced by the marginalised.”
