Mentoring for donations

I offer free mentoring on applications to master's, predoc, and Ph.D. programs in economics. In exchange, I ask for a donation to Ansh, which runs a kangaroo care program for newborns in hospitals in Rajasthan, India, and is recommended by GiveWell. If you are interested, write to me.

I started the offer during the 2021 Covid wave in India, when the donations went to Indian Covid relief funds such as the Hemkunt Foundation and Khalsa Aid. The original offer is still on Twitter.
