Arrival to Delhi

Pictured here is the team when we got to Dharamsala: Angela, Cherlyn, Lisa, myself, and Rebecca. Missing is Tom and his guide Hekani.

Our various specialties included architecture, education, non-profit, law making, real estate, and freelancing. Tom is a Law Professor who originally initiated the trip. Hekani, the Indian lawyer and myself co-coordinated the trip with Tom.

A wonderful aspect of the team was our total diversity. Individually we had much to offer, and were able to cultivate creative project ideas for schools in India.

We established friendships through shared experiences in critical moments of personal growth and expansion. Traveling through a developing country to primarily examine harsh conditions and the immense poverty took a toll on our state of mind...but that was when the growth moments happened. I believe people should step outside their own bubble or comfort zone, and take time to examine what is happening around them in the world. It is really humbling...

Tom standing outside our hotel in Delhi. On our arrival, we stayed at the Lakir House, a fairly comfortable and humble Tibetan hotel.

We loved the signs we would see in India. They read funny to any foreigner, even if India is their ancestral home.
